CSM Courses Transferable to the University of California System (UC)
Important: At the time of the publication of the 2022-2023 College of San Mateo Catalog, the 2022-2023 UC TCA has not yet been published. Listed below is the 2021-2022 UC TCA. Use the ASSIST website for the 2022-2023 UC TCA information.
Use the ASSIST website website as the most reliable and up-to-date resource to determine how course credit earned at College of San Mateo can be applied when transferred to the UC system and individual colleges within the system. The UC TCA will also note course and credit limitations. An example of a UC TCA limitation that is noted on the ASSIST website is “no credit is granted for Biology 100 or 110 if taken after Biology 230.” On the ASSIST website the following information is essential for transfer planning:
- Lists of CSM courses that are transferable to UC
- Lists of CSM courses that can be applied to IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) for UC and CSU General Education Certification
- Lists of CSM courses that can be applied to lower division major requirements for UC campuses and majors
- Lists of CSM to UC course equivalencies
There are instances when a CSM course is approved for an IGETC area or lower division major preparation but the same course at one of our sister colleges (Skyline College or Cañada College) is not approved and does not carry the same articulation. View the UC information for the college in which you are enrolled in the course to confirm the articulation.
