Transfer Center 101: Getting Started

Being a transfer student means that you are beginning your bachelor's degree at Los Angeles Pierce College (LAPC).
As a transfer student, you will be continuing your education at a four-year college or university, usually after completing at least 60 transferable units at community college.
When planned correctly, the courses that you pass at community college count towards your bachelor’s degree, just as if they had been taken at a four-year college or university.

Where do you wish to transfer to?
- Select 3-5 campuses at minimum to plan for and apply to. Go to "How to Choose a Transfer University" for suggested direction.

Determine whether you need remedial Math or English classes. View and/or download the English and Math Course Sequence charts, available as an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) file.
Determine whether you need prerequisite courses for your Major Prep Courses
General timeline calculation: Transferrable units (or total number of units to transfer, including remedial courses) divided by the number of units you take each semester = total number of semesters; (ex. 60 transferrable units divided by 12 units taken per semester = 5 total semesters)
