<p>For CCC to UC transfers in particular, is there ANY kind of disadvantage for a student that takes 3 years to transfer instead of 2?</p>
<p>I'm taking 5 classes this semester and working 30hrs/wk, and its starting to stress me out, so I'm considering taking fewer classes and transfering in 3 yrs. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>nope... as long as u will be apply to be a junior. Other than that it shouldnt affect your chances.</p>
<p>I might end up taking three years also. Work was killing me last two semesters and I barely got any courses finished. I plan to finish up part time this semester, move back home, then go full time for next spring and onwards.</p>
<p>you can take as long as you want. just apply as a junior transfer</p>
<p>Doesn't matter for a year or two, i know a guy that took 4 years at CC and transferred to ucla.</p>
<p>just make sure you dont have to many credits</p>
<p>I actually might end up with about 86 credits, but thats fine I believe. Thanks for the advice, peeps. I think I'm going to go ahead and scale back a bit, and take a semester abroad.</p>
<p>THERE IS NO LIMITATION ON CREDITS IF ALL ARE FROM CCCS!!!!!!!</p>
<p>hah, seriously.</p>
<p>Just make sure to apply as a junior.</p>
<p>actually that is quite a bit of credits, only 70 of those will transfer. Its dangerous to have that amount sometimes, because some colleges at certain universities cap the amount of credits you can have and still be able to apply, for example UWmadison business school caps it at 100, if you have more or 10 semesters of classes, you cannot apply</p>
<p>With all due respect, Mr. Pasadena, this is regarding California Community College students in their effort to transfer to UCs.</p>
<p>It goes without saying that other colleges will have a wide variety of policies regarding units.</p>
<p>Actually, there is a max number of credits that the UC will transfer. I think it is 110 quarter units you will get credit for. Anything above will not count towards credits but will count as you having took that comparable course. This is for junior transfer.</p>
<p>Sry gabew42 if my answer not only encompases more than just information on UC's. I am generalizing something...have you looked at every single college in the UCsystem to see if there are any caps besides the general 70units of semester transfer credits. I have not, and knowing that other state colleges practice this, i thought i should give a "heads up" so that he could check for himself just to make sure. And i am sure other people with be reading this, but not planning on attending a UC</p>
