Use the Transfer Credit Petition to have courses outside of the UCLA Mathematics Department (within or outside of UCLA) evaluated as equivalent to UCLA’s mathematics or programming in computing (PIC) courses.
What to include in your email petition:
STEP 1. Subject Title: LastName, FirstName UID Transfer Credit Petition
| Bruin, Joe 123456789 Transfer Credit Petition |
STEP 2. Email Body: State your major and list which courses you'd like evaluated.
|
I'm an Mathematics of Computation pre-major, and I'd like the following courses evaluated: 1. CIS 22A at De Anza College for PIC 10A at UCLA 2. Math 5A at UC Irvine for Math 3A at UCLA 3. Math 2085 at Louisiana State University for Math 33A at UCLA |
STEP 3. Attach the course syllabus. Syllabus should be detailed with a breakdown of topics covered WEEK BY WEEK, course description, grading scheme, exam modality, and textbook used. Courses with no proctored exams will automatically denied.
We typically cannot evaluate a course based on the description alone. If you only have the course description, please reach out to an instructor of the course for a detailed syllabus. Alternatively, you can attach a PDF of your course Canvas page/website that lists the topics week by week.
STEP 4. Send the email petition to ugrad@math.ucla.edu. We try to get back to students within 4 weeks.
Disclaimer: There is a very long processing time for Transfer Credit Petitions. We HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to find a course that is already listed on TRANSFEROLOGY or ASSIST as equivalent to a course at UCLA.
How do I know who is instructing the course?
Each institution has a website that shows the instructors for a given quarter as well as a page that includes their email for contact.
Does the syllabus have to be from the instructor that I took the course with/am planning to take the course with?
No. The syllabus can be from any instructor of that course who is teaching within the same school year.
