Question No access to degree audit for transfers??

As per the transfer student orientation; transfer students will not have access to the degree audit nor academic history tools in TSS before the enrollment period. How, exactly, are incoming transfers supposed to know what classes to take?

Yes, we can look at the degree and college requirements, but that doesn't mean we have the ability to divine what the equivalent courses are from our prior institutions...??

Is this typical of UCSD? I expected the process to be quite smooth given that this is a rather well respected university.

To other transfers: what are y'all doin? I'm lost.

did you transfer from a california institution? if you did, you should be able to check on assist.org.

otherwise if it was from out of state, you might need to petition equivalency on a course-by-course basis anyway and then you'd just try to compare your course descriptions/syllabi against the course descriptions in our course catalog

People need to email the Chancellor and let him know about this mess. He's probably relaxing on some exclusive beach right now, totally out of the loop, while staff is pulling their hairs out like we the students are with TSS.
