How to Read TES Evaluation Results
APPROVAL AND DENIAL APPLICABILITY
-
All decisions apply to LA Pierce College unless marked "DENIED."
-
Approved equivalencies apply only to:
-
Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT)
-
Associate Degrees
-
Certificates
-
Los Angeles Community College District General Education
-
-
ADT course approvals apply only to the ADT and do not guarantee fulfillment of university major requirements. Check www.ASSIST.org for UC/CSU major prepation. For private/out-of-state schools, see our Transfer Agreements & Articulation page.
-
For non-CCC institutions (UC, CSU, private, out-of-state), Cal-GETC, IGETC and/or CSU GE area(s) are listed in TES showing approved areas.
-
GE approvals do not confirm UC transferability. Contact UC campuses directly to verify.
-
TES does not show CCC IGETC, CSU GE or major prep info. Use www.ASSIST.org for this information.
-
TES reflects Pierce-specific approvals/denials. Other colleges/universities decide if they’ll accept a Pierce course as equivalent.
Reminder: Always confirm minimum admission and major requirements—especially for English, Critical Thinking, Oral Communication and Math. Cal-GETC, IGETC and/or CSU GE approval may not meet minimum university entry requirements.
NURSING PREREQUISITE APPLICABILITY
The Nursing program will not accept online Biology, Anatomy, Physiology or Chemistry courses*. Only courses with “Nursing Prerequisite” indicated on TES will be accepted for LAPC’s Nursing Program. A Nursing Equivalency Form is still required as part of the nursing application process. For more information or questions, please email @email.
*Exceptions were made for online science courses due to COVID-19. Please email @email for verification that online science course(s) will be accepted.
GRADE MINIMUMS
- All Cal-GETC, IGETC, Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT), local Associate degrees, major and certificate requirements: Grade of "C" or better or "P" if the course is taken on a "pass-no pass" basis
