<p>is it true that they won't accept you if you have more then 130 quarter units?</p>
<p>yes, because you will be considered a junior and they only accept incomming juniors. and btw, neiji is badass.</p>
<p>that's 86.67 semester points right?</p>
<p>yep, im still checking UCLA's site about this 130 limit</p>
<p>ummm no... this is only true if you are not transferring from a community college...or if you are transferring from a community college while taking classes at a uni. = unit problems...</p>
<p>if you are transferring from a CCC and have only taken classes there, then you can accumulate as many units as you want...only 70 will transfer and the rest will go into subject credit...I am going to apply to UCLA with more units than that "limit" indicates..</p>
<p>currently im at a CCC, lets say i wanted to transfer to a UC..would it be an issue if half of my 70+ credits are from a CSU i previously attended?</p>
<p>To get your degree you still have to take a specific number of units at UCLA... So it really does not help you to have trillions of units from your current school.</p>
<p>um, what if you take courses at another university to supplement the courses you'll already be taking at whatever CC you're at. do you still exceed a unit max?</p>
<p>Simply put: If you TAKE ALL COURSES in a community college or in many community colleges= no limit for credit (for admission purpose) but they only take 70-75 semester units max (for graduation requirement) </p>
<p>If you take course outside of community college, 90+ semester units won't be considered for admission!</p>
<p>"[...]but who told you that you can transfer to UCLA with as much credits as you want? I haven't had the chance to talk to my counselor, because shes been out of town." asked Neji </p>
<p>Q: If my total number of UC transferable units is over 80, am I eligible for admission?
A: Unfortunately, not if you've applied to the College of Letters and Science, where most applicants with excess units are denied admission. If you've applied to the College of Engineering, Chemistry, Environmental Design or Natural Resources, your application will be reviewed and there may be a slight chance of admission with excess transferable units. </p>
<p>EXCEPTION: If all of your coursework has been or will be completed at one or more California community colleges, you are eligible for admission and the maximum transfer credit you can receive is 70 semester (105 quarter) units.</p>

<p>Also, I have confirmed this fact with my community college counselor and some representatives from UCs that if you take all courses in community college/s, then you can take as many as you want.</p>
<p>I'm back to do my homework now... :)</p>
<p>Kevin101 -</p>
<p>I applied to Cal and UCLA with 76 units. Since they only accept 70 units of transferable credit, do I get to pick which 6 units I can omit?</p>
<p>From what i heard, when you are admitted to their schools, they gonna do a FORMAL EVALUATION of your transcript and they also decides how to give you credit (thus you can't pick which unit to omit).</p>
<p>However, i'm not sure what they will do with the extra units we have, you have 6 units extra and i also have 5 units extra.</p>
<p>I would like to add that a UCLA rep emailed me a response to a similar question (re: the 70/90-unit cap). I attended a UC for the first year (47 quarter units) and a CC for the second year (~30 semester units). I was told that taking 30+ units at the CC makes me ELIGIBLE to transfer with the same unit cap any other CC student would have (that is, 70 units transfer, anything else is discarded).</p>
<p>They will do a formal evaluation of credits when you transfer. Chances are that they will know exactly what classes you need to fill which requirements. Not everything that is designated CCCT is necessarily /useful/. Is there a particular reason you'd want to choose as opposed to having them choose for you?</p>
<p>I believe UCLA looks at to see whether or not you have the minimum units, then whether or not you've done the major requirements, and IGETC. If you do have a trillion units, that won't matter because grades from the CCC won't count anyway, so it doesn't matter which classes they omit or not, as long as you don't have to repeat a class you've already taken. When you transfer, I don't think the GPA follows you, just make sure you get IGETC certified to be sure.</p>
<p>^ this brings up another question:</p>
<p>how come UCLA's Engineering program does not use the IGETC?</p>
<p>Because basically they want you to focus more on Math, Physics and chemistry! Engineering is a very high unit major (I'm also an electrical engineering major!). Even though they say they don't accept IGETC, you can do it if you want to.</p>
