Also listed in this agreement

ASSIST lists these Foothill College courses under this major without naming a single UC Santa Cruz course they map to — usually because they sit inside a “choose from the following” group. They are part of the agreement, so treat them as in scope and check the exact grouping on ASSIST.

Verify this list on ASSIST.org before you register: choose Foothill College as your sending institution, UC Santa Cruz as the receiving institution, and Psychology as the major. ASSIST is the only official source, and agreements change between catalog years.

Which of these you can actually take in 2025–26

ASSIST is the official source for UC articulation, but it tells you which courses count, not when they run or who teaches them. The planner puts both together and warns you about time conflicts.
