- Can I use the credits I earn toward a UC Davis degree?
- Yes. You can earn academic credit for the courses you take through Open Campus. Talk to your UC Davis academic advisor before enrolling if you plan to transfer credits earned through Open Campus toward a degree to ensure that your Open Campus work will be accepted.

However, if you are taking a course as a prerequisite for your major, or you need a minimum grade for readmission to UC Davis, choose the appropriate grading option.
