## Transfer admission requirements

You must meet minimum UC subject and scholarship requirements for transfer admission. However, students admitted to UC Davis also need to meet any additional GPA thresholds.

### UC transferable units

Complete at least 60 semester or 90 quarter UC transferable units by the end of the spring term prior to fall enrollment.

### GPA requirements

Earn at least a 2.40 GPA in UC-transferable courses (2.80 for California non-residents) to meet UC requirements. UC Davis requires a minimum 2.80 GPA for admission.

- [Selective majors](https://www.ucdavis.edu/admissions/undergraduate/transfer/selective-major-requirements) require higher overall, series and group GPAs. Strive to achieve the highest GPA.

### Courses

Complete the following 7 course pattern by the end of spring term prior to enrollment with C grades or better.

- Two transferable courses in English composition
- One transferable course in mathematical or quantitative reasoning
- Four transferable courses from at least two of the following subject areas:
  - Arts and humanities
  - Social and behavioral sciences
  - Physical and biological sciences

Students need to complete all required course work ­— this includes [major prerequisites](https://www.ucdavis.edu/admissions/undergraduate/transfer/selective-major-requirements) — by end of spring, prior to fall enrollment.

### Class standing

While the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences occasionally considers applications from students with [less than junior-level standing,](https://www.ucdavis.edu/admissions/undergraduate/transfer/special-situations#junior) very few lower-division transfers are admitted. All other academic divisions only consider applications from junior-level transfers.

### Pass/No Pass units

Do not take more than 14 semester (21 quarter) Pass/No Pass units. Due to COVID-19, courses taken with Pass/No Pass or Credit/No Credit grading in the winter, spring and summer terms of 2020 do not count toward this limit.
