Your Academic History

Your Academic History is your unofficial transcript at UC San Diego. It includes all courses you have taken.

Check your Academic History on My TritonLink carefully to verify that all your courses transferred.

  • 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 far right column.  In the example below, ECON 121 from Mesa College is equal to ECON 1 at UC San Diego.

  • If you received credit for a course that does not have a UC San Diego course listed in the far right column, that course is counting for degree credit, but it is not directly equal to a UC San Diego course. In the example above, ASTR 101 from Mesa College 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.
  • You must submit all official AP scores, , official IB scores, official A-Level transcripts, and official transcripts from every institution you attended.
