Chemistry Equivalencies
California Community Colleges
Please use Assist.org to verify if courses taken at a California Community College have been approved for equivalency.
Please note that many courses only transfer as a completed series.
In order to process any credits to your academic record, students will still need to submit their transcripts to the admissions office.
All Other Institutions
For courses taken outside of California or from baccalaureate granting institutions within California, some coursework has already been reviewed by the UC Davis Chemistry faculty. Please review the articulation decisions at the following link. If your course is not listed, then proceed to initiate a new equivalency review request.

Submit a New Equivalency Review Request
Please click the button below and submit the following information in order to initiate the review process for other college chemistry courses.
- UCD chemistry course that is being proposed as equivalent
- College or institution previously attended
- If courses were taken at multiple community colleges, are they in the same district
- Course name and number
Additionally, please submit a detailed syllabus for each course that includes a schedule of topics covered in lecture each week via the submission button. If you do not have access to this, we recommend that you reach out to the instructor/department and ask if they can provide a more detailed syllabus from their archives.
In place of a detailed syllabus, just a course description, learning outcomes, or a lecture schedule based on chapter numbers is not sufficient.
We will no longer be accepting online labs that were taken after Spring of 2022. If you plan to transfer over chemistry coursework, please plan to take labs in person.
Additionally, if you are seeking equivalency for CHE 2A, 2B, or 2C, please also complete the self assessment in the Google Form. If a self assessment does determine that less than 80% of the course content is covered, please do not submit the course for equivalency.
Once all materials have been received, please allow up to four weeks for a decision.
If you have any questions, please email chemundergrads@ucdavis.edu.
