<p>Is it okay if I have like about 90 semester units before I transfer? Since I want to change my major (I'm changing my major from communication to mechanic engineering), now I will have to take a great amount of new classes. With that said, I will have a excess of units (compare to the 60 units before transfer rule). Will that be okay for UCs?</p>
<p>this is no unit cap if all your units are from a community college</p>
<p>my belief is that they will only transfer a max of 70 - generally only 60 though. I could be wrong, but I think that’s how most work.</p>
<p>but as long as they all come from a CCC you won’t be denied admission as transfer</p>
<p>If you have 90 or more transferable units, you are not eligible to transfer to a UC. This is stated on their transfer admission website. The reason is, 90 semester units puts you into senior standing. You can’t have senior standing at a UC with just lower division course work. I also read on Berkeley’s website that having over 80 semester units actually hurts your chances of being admitted.</p>
<p>Class Standing
Please note that, due to the high volume of applications that UC Santa Cruz receives, the campus is often open to junior-level transfer students only. Lower-division transfer students (sophomores) should check with the Admissions Office to see if the campus is accepting applications for a particular term.</p>
<p>UC Santa Cruz does not accept students who have completed 90 UC-transferable semester units (135 quarter units) or more from a combination of two-year and four-year institutions. If you have earned all of your credits from community college, you are not affected by this limit, because UC grants a maximum of 70 semester (105 quarter) units in transfer from community college.</p>
<p>Sorry for the mistake.</p>
<p>This is true for all UCs not just UCSC.</p>
<p>im actually in the same predicament, ill have a little over 90 semester units, i think 94, but they are all from a CCC, so just to clarify, it wont affect my transfer eligibility in any way right?</p>
<p>no it won’t.</p>
<p>yes, if all 90 units are from CCC, then the unit limit will NOT apply.</p>
<p>u can take as many as you want, you will get credit for taking the class. the most they will transfer is 70 though.</p>
<p>cool, thanks everybody!!</p>
<p>UC schools are prestigious schools with a lot of smart people. It would be pretty stupid if they wouldn’t let someone from a community college transfer if they had more than 90 units. I’ll have almost 100 units when I finish this semester, and I’ve already been accepted to UCSB, UCSD and UCI. But yeah, I’m pretty sure they’ll only let a maximum of 70 of those units transfer. I’m completely prepared (mentally) to have a bunch of my classes rejected.</p>
<p>: -)))))))))) (good)</p>
<p>I have one question: i went to a university in china and took a punch of classes over there, but i did not get a degree yet, then i immigrated to the us, now, i have had about 60 UC transferable units. So am i considered as senior level standing? If I am, then people who are immigrants and already went to universities outside of the us would never be able get into any UC’s?</p>
<p>you went to a 4 year institution previously so unit caps would apply to you. If you apply to L&S at berkeley and LA however, theres no unit cap as long as u took less than 80 units before going to community college.</p>
<p>How do i know if i took more than 80 units? The system in China is totally different in the US?</p>
<p>how long were you in school in china?</p>
<p>4 years and that is a 4year university, but i did not finish it or get any degree.</p>
