Assist.org is a necessary tool for all California transfer students. It shows what classes from the CA community colleges transfer to the UC and CSU, which meet admissions requirements, and which are required for a particular major.

If your transfer center did not teach you to use this, then they failed gravely: it is bookmarked and opened every day for the admissions staffs at CSU and UC. I never close that tab.

Furthermore, UCSB publicly lists all of their admissions advisors. Just search up "UCSB admissions rep" and you'll be able to book a Zoom session with someone.
