<p>If I took a 3-unit course at a community college that is on the semester system, would the course also be worth 3-units at Berkeley, or would it be adjusted accordingly? Since R&C courses at Berkeley are worth 4-units, I am wondering if transferring that 3-unit course over would be considered 4-units at Berkeley. Thanks.</p>

<p>Check assist.org, it’ll show you if there’s any credit conversion.</p>

<p>Here’s what it looks like on assist:

<p>The box on the right is the community college course I’ve taken and the one on the left is Berkeley’s equivalent. Does that mean that this class will be worth 4 units at Berk then?</p>

<p>To my knowledge yeah that’s how it works. But to satisfy breadth you’re going to have to do 60 units at your CC anyway. I think the only thing this really affects is you’ll have an inflated unit count on transfer but they’ll cap you at 70 anyway.
I’m not 100% on this though, the advisor I talked to was really vague and didn’t seem to have a real answer for me on this one either.</p>

<p>What!?!?! We have to do 60 units at the CC in order for CC classes to satisfy our breadths? Where did you get that from? Can someone verify this please.</p>

<p>I just thought that if assist.org shows that the CC course satisfies a certain breadth, it would just transfer over and we get that breadth out of the way. Where is this 60 unit minimum coming from?</p>

<p>The 60 unit thing is for transfers not incoming frosh, ignore it</p>

<p>OP, it looks like your course is equivalent to English R1A, so you only have to worry about R&C part b</p>

<p>Ah my bad, I was thinking you were a transfer, didn’t realize you were frosh. So yeah forget that. It’ll satisfy the breadth and like I said, I think it’ll cover you for four units toward your total, but I’d double check with an advisor.</p>

<p>This is pretty much what I wanted to hear! Thanks Ramsey for your help.</p>
