Transfer Courses - Other UCs

Click on the informational cards below to see a list of UC Courses that have been approved as being equivalent to courses offered here at UCR. 

Please note that some articulations may be outdated and may require a new review.  Additionally, if the UC school or course you are looking for is not listed, then no articulation for that school or course has been determined.  Therefore, you must bring a syllabus (not the course catalog description) of the course you wish to take to the CNAS Undergraduate Academic Advising Center for review.

NOTE: If you plan on taking any science, math, or English course(s) outside of UCR, then you must submit a Request for Summer Session Enrollment form to the CNAS Undergraduate Academic Advising Center and receive approval prior to enrolling in the course(s).  You must see your advisor to obtain a Request for Summer Session Enrollment form.
