UC Davis Undergraduate Admissions has the authority to determine transferability of a course. Classes that are transferrable may also be evaluated for equivalency in order to apply to major credit or as a prerequisite. The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences determines which courses are equivalent to UC Davis Geology courses. Learn more at the Office of the University Registrar's Transfer Credit FAQ page.
