Your Academic History
Your Academic History is your unofficial transcript at UC San Diego. It includes all courses you have taken.
Continuing students through Summer 2026: Check your Academic History on My TritonLink carefully to verify that all your courses transferred.
New students: Check your Academic History in the Triton Student System (TSS) carefully to verify that all your courses transferred. Once you have access to the Triton Student System in mid-July, you will be able to see your academic history. At that time, review your academic history carefully to verify all courses are correct. New, incoming students for Fall 2026 may not have their full academic history posted until later in August due to document processing times in the Office of Admissions.
- Your Academic History will show all transferable credit (AP exams, IB exams, A-Level exams, and transfer courses including dual enrollment).
- If you received directly equivalent (approximated) course credit for a transfer course that is equal to a course at UC San Diego, you will see the transfer approximation for the UC San Diego course. In the example below, ANTH 1 at Saddleback College is approximated to ANTH 2 at UC San Diego.
- Some classes are part of a series, and transferring the full series will give you credit for the series at UC San Diego. The example below shows BIOL 4A and 4B are equal to BILD 1-2-3-4 at UC San Diego.
- If you received credit for a course that does not have a UC San Diego course listed, that transfer course is counted for degree credit, but it is not directly equal to a UC San Diego course. In the example above, COMM 1 has transferred for 4.5 units at UCSD, but it is not directly equivalent to a specific class at UCSD. If you need the class to count for a specific course for a major requirement, you will need to submit a petition to that department. Get more information about transfer course petitions.
- The example below also shows the student has AP credit from the English Language exam and has received 8 units at UCSD, but that class is not directly equivalent to a course at UCSD. Students would need to contact their College to learn how that AP exam credit applies toward their College writing requirement.
