Notice to Equivalency Degree Applicants

Not all applicants to the University of California FCE, Inc. qualify for an undergraduate or graduate equivalency degree solely based on prior studies and experiential credits. Some applicants may meet the requirements through course evaluation and assessment, while others may need to complete additional coursework to fulfill degree requirements.

Courses from nationally or regionally accredited institutions are considered in the evaluation process. However, for those who do not initially qualify, we recommend exploring free online learning platforms to supplement their education. Before enrolling in any courses, applicants should consult with the University of California FCE, Inc. evaluators to ensure the coursework meets curriculum requirements.
