ABOUT THE UA TRANSFER GUIDES
These guides present the lower-division requirements of bachelor’s degree programs at The University of Arizona in terms of the transferable courses available at an Arizona community college, numbered in the community college notation. The transfer guides should be used in conjunction with The University of Arizona General Catalog and the Arizona Course Applicability System. Students should refer to the community college catalog for descriptions of the courses listed in the transfer guides.
These transfer guides are designed to assist students who have selected the course of study they plan to follow at The University of Arizona. It will enable transferring students to identify those courses appropriate to the academic program they plan to pursue. Students undecided about their course of study and/or their choice of UA, ASU or NAU, are encouraged to follow the requirements of the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC). The requirements for the AGEC are available through the community college advising center.
Transferability of community college courses not listed in the transfer guides or the Arizona Course Applicability System must be approved by The University of Arizona academic unit which offers the degree being sought. Courses accepted for transfer in this way may be restricted both in number of units transferable and the manner in which they may be used to satisfy degree requirements. Normally a course completed in a community college whose content is offered at The University of Arizona in the upper-division (carrying a course number of 300 or higher) will not be accepted in transfer as the equivalent of The University of Arizona upper-division course. For information about specific course acceptability policies and procedures, contact an advisor at The University of Arizona.
While there is no limit to the total number of units of course work acceptable for transfer credit that may be transferred from an accredited community college to The University of Arizona, only 64 of those units may be applied toward the requirements for a bachelor’s degree. The choice of the 64 units is at the discretion of the student in consultation with an advisor.
While all courses offered for transfer will be accepted by the University subject to the above rules, the specific lower-division requirements of various curricula vary widely. In order to complete the baccalaureate program in a timely manner, the student should consult the section of the transfer guide that is appropriate for the student’s curriculum. Any curricular questions regarding the programs in the transfer guides should be directed to the departmental contact or to the Office of Curriculum and Registration (mecf@email.arizona.edu).
Choice of Catalog (or how to determine which transfer guide year to choose):
Students need to use the transfer guide for their catalog year. A student's catalog year is determined by the semester and year of the student's initial enrollment in any public Arizona community college or university. Students maintaining continuous enrollment at a public Arizona community college or university may graduate according to the requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of initial enrollment or according to the requirements of any single catalog in effect during subsequent terms of continuous enrollment. Students may maintain continuous enrollment whether attending a single public community college or university in Arizona or transferring among public institutions in Arizona while pursuing their degrees.
Select the year and then the community college that you will be transferring from:
