Attention Â鶹AV Students!
If you are transferring course work from another school to Â鶹AV, review this page based on your class level.
Undergraduate Students
You may take a course at another accredited institution to fulfill GE or lower-division major requirements as follows:
- Only 70 units from a community college can be applied to the total units toward a Â鶹AV degree. If you exceed the 70-unit limit, the class can satisfy a course requirement and will become part of your cumulative GPA, but no additional units will be earned toward the minimum number of units required to graduate.

Course Repeat Policy

- If you have passed a course at Â鶹AV and repeat that same course at another institution, you will not receive credit for the transfer course.
