Faculty Advising at Pacific

Students should confirm their course planning and articulations with a Pacific faculty advisor, the enrollment advisor, or through the ROAR site. Pacific is willing to provide you with academic advising while you are still at the community college. You may contact us to arrange an appointment with a faculty or enrollment  advisor for your respective major. For more information, contact:

How soon can you transfer?

Community college students can transfer to the School of Engineering and Computer Science at any point in their academic program. Most state colleges require that community college students complete their entire freshman and sophomore curriculum prior to transferring to the four-year universities. This is not true at Pacific. If you do not have at least 30 units of college credit, you will need to submit your high school transcripts for consideration, in addition to your official college and/or university transcripts.

English 1A

Most colleges have a basic writing course called, "English 1A" or something very similar. If your writing skills are very strong, you will not be required to take a course like this at Pacific (you will be given a reading and a writing test to determine whether you have passed Pacific's Fundamental Skills Requirement in reading and writing). But it is a good course anyhow, so you may want to consider taking it at your current college, thereby exempting yourself from any possibility of having to take it once you get to Pacific. (English 1A does not count as a General Education course.)
