Fullerton College to UCLA
Nursing Transfer Plan
Fullerton College has a match for every UCLA Nursing prerequisite, honors sections included, so nothing required carries over after transfer. Chemistry is the long pole at four semesters, and UCLA still expects full Cal-GETC or IGETC certification.

Courses with no equivalent must be taken at UCLA after transfer. Factor this into your first-year course plan.
General Education
Foundation GE at Fullerton College
Complete these five courses at Fullerton College to start your UCLA GE pattern. Finishing full IGETC/Cal-GETC at the CC is ideal — these five give you the broadest head start, and CCN-tagged courses stay portable if you switch community colleges.

Chemistry takes four semesters minimum
Fullerton's chain runs CHEM 107F, then CHEM 111AF, then CHEM 111BF, then CHEM 211AF: four semesters minimum, with organic chemistry last. Start CHEM 107F, or the math that also opens CHEM 111AF, in your first term.
Semester classes, quarter-based major
Fullerton runs semesters and UCLA runs quarters. CHEM 111AF and CHEM 111BF together match UCLA's CHEM 20A and CHEM 20B, and UCLA's 60-to-70 unit range is stated in semester units, the same units Fullerton grants.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Honors sections cover the same slots
ENGL C1000H stands in for ENGL C1000, ENGL C1001H for ENGL C1001, and PSYC C1000H for PSYC C1000. Take the honors version of any of these and the requirement is still met.
Calculus runs through MATH 31A only
Fullerton has no course for MATH 3A, so MATH 151 F, Calculus I, is the only path to satisfying the math requirement. Plan for MATH 151 F rather than hunting for a business-calculus alternative.
Anatomy and physiology are split courses
ANAT 231 F covers PHYSCI 13 and ANAT 240 F covers PHYSCI 3. Both are required, each on its own, so budget for two separate science courses.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes do I need at Fullerton for UCLA nursing?
CHEM 111AF and CHEM 111BF, then CHEM 211AF; BIOL 272 F and BIOL 170 F; ANAT 240 F and ANAT 231 F for physiology and anatomy; MICR 262 F for microbiology; PSYC C1000; ENGL C1000 plus ENGL C1001, ENGL 104 F or PHIL 172 F; and MATH 151 F for calculus.
Is anything for UCLA nursing not covered at Fullerton?
No required prerequisite is missing at Fullerton. COMM 10, a recommended elective, has no local match, but that group isn't required. ASSIST also notes UCLA might ask for an extra composition course after you arrive.
What GPA do you need for UCLA nursing as a transfer?
UCLA wants a 3.5 cumulative GPA in UC-transferable courses, 60 to 70 semester units, and a C or better in every listed prerequisite. Full Cal-GETC or IGETC certification is required when you enter; partial won't be accepted.
Does UCLA nursing have a separate application?
Yes, on top of the UC application, a nursing supplemental application is due January 15, 2027. According to ASSIST's notes, it asks for a statement of purpose and two recommendations from teachers, counselors or supervisors.

Related Transfer Plans
Fullerton College students working toward UCLA's prelicensure Nursing B.S. can finish the whole ASSIST prerequisite list on campus, from CHEM 111AF and CHEM 211AF through ANAT 231 F, ANAT 240 F and MICR 262 F. UCLA adds requirements beyond the course list, including a 3.5 GPA minimum, full Cal-GETC or IGETC certification at entry, and a separate nursing application due in January. Transfermatic plans Fullerton's four-semester chemistry sequence alongside the anatomy and physiology courses so everything, GE included, lines up in time.
