TRANSFER ADMISSIONS GUIDE

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY

TRANSFER

ADMISSIONS GUIDE

DISCOVER. CONNECT. ENGAGE. REFLECT.

This is what we encourage UC Berkeley students to do during their

time at the university. UC Berkeley seeks applications from students

from all over the world to be a part of our amazing community. We

know that choosing your college is a huge decision, so we want to

make sure you’re prepared for the application process.

You are a transfer student if you have completed coursework during

a regular session at a college or university after high school. (The

summer session immediately following high school graduation does

not count.) While UC gives California community college students ﬁrst

priority over other transfer applicants, we also accept those from four-

year institutions and out-of-state community colleges.

At the University of California, we are dedicated to accepting transfer

students as they add greatly to the diversity of the campus. One-third

of our incoming class are transfers.

Are you ready to #DiscoverBerkeley?

APPLICATION REVIEW

SATISFYING ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS:

Junior transfer admission is limited to students who will have

completed a minimum of 60 semester (90 quarter) UC-

transferable units by the end of spring term prior to fall

admission and have a competitive GPA.

By the end of the spring term prior to fall admission you must:

ɖ Complete 60 UC-transferable semester units

ɖ Complete courses for the major

ɖ Complete general education requirements

ɖ Overall minimum GPA of 3.0

ɒ GPA is calculated using grades earned in UC-transferable

courses completed by the end of the fall term prior

to admission

As a transfer student it is crucial that you are preparing yourself

for the academic major that you are interested in applying to. It is

important to note that depending on the college and/or major you

are applying to admissions requirements will vary. That is why it is

important that you visit assist.org and and review the admissions

requirements per college on page 4.

SELECTION:

Because more transfer students apply to our campus than

we can admit, Berkeley’s selection criteria exceed the UC

admissions requirements.

Berkeley reviews students using a comprehensive review which

considers academic performance and preparation, the personal

qualities of the applicant, including leadership ability, character,

motivation, insight, tenacity, initiative, originality, intellectual

independence, responsibility, maturity, and demonstrated

concern for others and for the community. These factors can be

demonstrated in diﬀerent ways, whether it is through participation

in traditional clubs/organizations, home life, work life, or other

life experiences.

We also consider:

ɖ Grade trends

ɖ Demonstrated interest in the major, an important consideration

for all applicants

ɖ Personal qualities such as leadership or motivation

ɖ Extracurricular accomplishments

ɒ Employment

ɒ Potential contribution to the intellectual and cultural

vitality of the campus

ACADEMIC HISTORY:

ɖ For the academic sections, make sure to accurately and

completely ﬁll out the coursework and grades from every

college you have attended. This application is self reported, but

we will validate the accuracy of the application after a student

is admitted. Use transcripts to accurately report your academic

information. Berkeley also understands that grades and test

scores are static. We get more context about you through

other parts of the application.

ACTIVITIES & AWARDS:

ɖ For the extracurricular activities section, report any activities

or work experience as completely as possible, including number

of hours per week, weeks per year, years after high school, and

responsibilities. Any activities or work experience while in high

school will not be considered; for transfer admissions, your

post-high school activities are most important. If there is not

enough space in these sections, use the additional comments

to provide us more details and context about your story.

ɖ Berkeley seeks diverse and unique perspectives. It is important

to recognize that you do not have to do everything. While

clubs and student organizations are great to report, you can

also list other activities, such as family responsibilities and

work experience. Lean into your eccentricities and do not

do anything just because you think it will look good on your

application. Be yourself.

PERSONAL INSIGHT QUESTIONS (PIQS):

At Berkeley we use personal insight questions to:

ɖ Discover and evaluate distinctions among applicants whose

academic records are often very similar

ɖ Gain insight into your level of academic, personal and

extracurricular achievement

ɖ Provide us with information that may not be evident in other

parts of the application

What we look for:

ɖ Initiative, motivation, leadership, persistence, service to others,

special potential and substantial experience with other cultures

ɖ All achievement in light of the opportunities available to you

ɖ Any unusual circumstances or hardships you have faced and

the ways in which you have overcome or responded to them.

Having a hardship is no guarantee of admission. If you choose

to write about diﬃculties you have experienced, you

should describe:

ɒ How you confronted and overcame your challenges, rather

than describing a hardship just for the sake of including it in

your application

ɒ What you learned from or achieved in spite of these

circumstances

How to answer your personal insight questions:

ɖ Thoughtfully describe not only what you’ve done, but also the

choices you have made and what you have gained as a result.

ɖ Your personal insight questions are a way for us to get to know

you. Treat it like a conversation or an interview.

ɖ Allow suﬃcient time for preparation, revisions, and careful

composition. Your answers are not evaluated on correct

grammar, spelling, or sentence structure, but these qualities will

enhance overall presentation and readability.

Things to remember when applying to a professional college:

ɖ If you are applying to a professional college (such as the College

of Engineering or Chemistry), it is important that you discuss:

ɒ Your intended ﬁeld of study

ɒ Your interest in your speciﬁc major

ɒ Any school or work-related experience

Keep in mind: You can use the Additional Comments box to

convey any information that will help us understand the context of

your achievement; to list any additional honors awards, activities,

leadership elements, volunteer activities, etc.; to share information

regarding a nontraditional school environment or unusual

circumstances that has not been included in any other area of

the application. And, ﬁnally, after we read your personal insight

questions, we will ask the question, “What do we know about this

individual?” If we have learned very little about you, your answers

were not successful.

For general information on the Personal Insight Questions please

visit: admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/

applying-as-a-transfer/personal-insight-questions.html

CONTEXT MATTERS

Berkeley seeks authentic and innovative scholars. Here is what you can do to show us who you are in your

application. We want you to make the most out of your application and take full advantage of each section. Here are

a few tips to get you thinking.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM INFORMATION

The requirements for admission as a transfer student vary by college. Requirements for all majors

are available on assist.org or in the Berkeley Academic Guide (guide.berkeley.edu). Visit the

college-speciﬁc websites for complete information.

COLLEGE OF CHEMISTRY

B.S. Degree - chemistry.berkeley.edu

ɖ Applicants must meet the minimum requirements for

admission to their speciﬁc major.

ɖ To be competitive, completion of additional major

prerequisites is strongly encouraged (see assist.org).

ɖ Completion of Reading and Composition is required, but

applicants do not need to complete all other general

education requirements prior to admission.

ɖ Please visit our website for more detailed information

regarding minimum eligibility requirements by major:

https://chemistry.berkeley.edu/ugrad/prospective-

the series must be completed, and must (unless otherwise

indicated) be completed at the same community college.

Partial completion (e.g., 2 of the 3 required courses) will

result in zero credit toward the requirement(s), and the

applicant will NOT be considered for admission.

ɖ The only exception to the series rule is Math 54. If Math 54

is split into two diﬀerent courses, one covering linear algebra

and one covering diﬀerential equations, we strongly encourage

applicants to take both courses at the same community college;

however, we will accept linear algebra from one school and

diﬀerential equations from a diﬀerent school.

STUDENTS WITH NON-CALIFORNIA

COMMUNITY COLLEGE COURSEWORK

TRANSFERABILITY OF COURSEWORK:

Will my Coursework Transfer?

UC Berkeley cannot pre-evaluate your prior transcript to

determine whether credit will be accepted. However UC

Berkeley follows the University of California guidelines. Please

review the Statement of Transfer Credit Practices (admission.

universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/ﬁles/Transfer_

Credit_Practice.pdf) to determine where you stand.

ɖ All coursework taken on a UC main campus is transferable.

NOTE: Please be aware that the Oﬃce of Undergraduate

Admissions cannot determine if the courses you have completed

at your institution will satisfy the subject requirements. That

determination is done by the academic departments (example:

Gen Psychology - the psychology department will review syllabi to

determine if content from the course was equivalent to the Gen

Psych course taught at Berkeley).

Will my coursework satisfy major preparation?

If you are applying from a school other than a California

community college, you are able to use assist.org to provide

guidance on the major preparation needed for your intended

major. You will need to select UC Berkeley and then any community

college from the pull-down menu on ASSIST. Once you select the

major, a page with all the requirements will show. Please keep in

mind that you are using this as a guide in order to make sure you

are on track to complete the requirements. You will need to ﬁnd

and complete comparable courses at your school. To ﬁnd UC

Berkeley course descriptions visit our Berkeley Academic Guide at

guide.berkeley.edu

UNIT MAXIMUM ADMISSION POLICY

Students who have completed UC-transferable coursework at

any four-year institution at any point in time may be ineligible for

admission if they exceed the unit maximum policy for admission.

Please note that students with all coursework completed at a

2 year institution will never exceed the unit maximum

admission policy.

ɖ All coursework from a two-year college is considered

lower division.

To determine if you have exceeded the unit maximum for

admission you must ﬁrst understand and apply the UC lower-

division maximum transfer credit limitation policy. Once you do

that you apply the Unit Maximum Admission Policy.

UC lower-division maximum transfer credit limitation policy:

ɖ Students will be granted up to 70 semester (105 quarter)

units for freshman/sophomore (lower division) coursework

completed at any institution or combination of institutions.

ɒ Units earned through AP, IB, and /or A-Level examinations

are not included in the limitation and do not put applicants

at risk of being denied admission.

ɒ Units earned at any UC campus (extension, summer, cross/

concurrent and regular academic-year enrollment) are not

included in the limitation but are added to the maximum

transfer credit allowed and may put you at risk of being

denied admission due to excessive units.

Unit Maximum Admissions Policy:

ɖ After applying the UC lower-division maximum transfer credit

limitation policy, all junior/senior (upper division) and all UC

units (lower division and upper division) are added to that total

unit count. If the resulting unit count exceeds 80 semester

units (120 quarter units), the student is ineligible for admission.

ɒ Engineering - 89 semester units/133.5 quarter units

ɒ Chemistry - No maximum number of units

ɒ CED - 80 semester units/120 quarter units

ɒ Haas - No maximum number of units

ɒ Raussier CNR - 80 semester units/120 quarter units

ɒ Letters and Science - 80 semester units/120 quarter units
