Summer Class Information
For New Transfer Students
CAUTION:
If you choose to take courses over the summer, it is your responsibility to make sure that you do not receive duplicate credit. To avoid duplicate credit, check with your community college counselor to verify that you are not repeating courses in which you have already received credit. Revelle College counselors will not be able to formally advise you for courses taken over the summer because counselors do not have access to your official records until early August. However, counselors have provided the following tips and suggestions for choosing summer school classes.- Review the Revelle College General Education (GE) requirements.
- Use ASSIST.ORG - To help you choose transferable courses for the Revelle College General Education (GE) requirements.
- If you have AP or IB credit- Review the AP chart and/or the IB chart on the Revelle College website to find out what kind of credit you will receive at UCSD. If you received credit for a UCSD course, DO NOT take the equivalent course at a community college.
- For example, if you received credit for BILD 1, 2, and 3 from your AP biology score of 5, DO NOT take the equivalent courses for BILD 1, 2, or 3 at a community college because you have already received credit for these classes at UCSD.
