<p>I am planning on applying to both UCLA and UCB next year with the goal of having a dual major in English and Political Science. I also want to transfer with IGETC and all the prerequisites...</p>
<p>My problem is I made a list of the classes I must take and their units and it totalled to 100.</p>
<p>How does this affect me as a transfer candidate?</p>
<p>I know at UCB, they don't have a unit cap for transfers if you are coming from a CCC (and that they count up to 70 units, and give you class credit for the rest), but I cannot find any information on UCLA's policy.</p>
<p>And if I do end up completing those 100 units and transferring to either school, how will this affect my classes and graduating later on?</p>
<p>Your information is wrong. Since you are in the letters and sciences, they will UCB will NOT even CONSIDER anybody who has over 80 credits. I dont know about UCLA. Sorry.</p>
<p>Depends if you're coming from a CC or a four-year university. If it's the latter, then they will not even consider you for admission if you have over the unit max. I believe you can take as many units as you want if you're in CC, but you'll only get credit for the class and not the units.</p>
<p>I'm not sure about the 4-year University, but I transferred from a Community College with 115.5 quarter units in total, yet UCLA only accepted 105. They just subtracted 10.5. So, the 100+ units didn't affect my acceptance, so you should be fine. Plus, I did IGETC as well and more, just to explore other areas of study.</p>
<p>I'm in the college of L&S at Cal and I transferred here with 166 units from a cc. I was accepted at UCLA as well (and was already well over the 100 unit mark).</p>
<p>jk> I spent a lot of time in the cc system. No, quite a few of the classes weren't transferrable. I was also attempting to satisfy multiple university system's transfer requirements (csu, uc, private). Trying to cover all my bases.</p>
<p>wait. so can you transfer from a 4-year college (namely, UCB) to another UC if you have more than 100 credits (some from HighSchool, some from Community College courses taken during High School, and the rest from UCB) ?</p>
<p>No, you cannot transfer into any UC if you have more than 100 units from a four-year university. So if you go over the unit max while you're at Berkeley, you won't be able to transfer to another UC.</p>
<p>Not sure where you got that, xcaliberse, but jk_91 has it right. The unit cap does not apply if you're transferring from a CCC. In that case, they'll give you maximum unit credit towards your undergraduate degree, then subject credit for every completed course.</p>
<p>As far as transfering to another UC goes, I don't think it matters where the units come from. Once you hit senior standing, I believe they don't allow you to transfer. I'd be interested in hearing otherwise.</p>
<p>For berkeley and LA if you transferred with less than 80 units to a CCC and then completed the rest of your units there then you won't hit the unit cap.</p>
<p>I have a question guys. I am going to De Anza College this quarter. I went to a couple different CC's in my area (Ohlone College and Mission College) when I was in high school. I used the credit from these courses to boost my high school GPA, so it showed up on my high school transcript. Do I still get units for this when applying to 4-year universities, or no? Do I have to send in transcripts from these CC's when I apply to transfer? I ask because I got a C in a course I took at Mission College, and it would harm my GPA.</p>
<p>KP, i think you should speak to your counselor and try to get those credits to transfer. I don't know how it's going to work for you since Ohlone and Mission and DeAnza are all in different districts. But alot of people from my old school went to Ohlone during the summers and later switched to DeAnza because it was "more prestigious" and were still able to transfer in a year...so I assume, it is possible for you to transfer your credits to DeAnza from Ohlone and Mission.</p>
<p>semester. 60 is the requirement for semester, 90 is the requirement for quarter. 90 is the cutoff for semester, while 120? is cut off for quarter?</p>
<p>To clarify things out, you can not transfer if you have taken UPPER DIVISION courses. If you are only taking classes at CC, don't worry about the units! Period! This has been mentioned throughout many topics already!</p>
<p>KEVIN101: where did you learn that? never knew upper division courses can't be taken... can you take them and they just don't count towards a transfer, or is it: if you've taken one, you can NOT apply for transfer?</p>
