After transfer

<p>A person( she graduated from uc davis) told me that after transfer to UC, if you find one course which both UC and cc provide it, you can go back to cc to take it and UC also will accept the credit. So I want to know is it true? because everyone knows that cc's tuiton is much cheaper than uc's in that case if after transfer people also can take class in cc may be it can save some money.</p>

<p>It sounds to me like it would be true. One thing I learned at CalSO was that if you finished CC with 70 credits, you only need 50 at Cal to give you the 120 needed to graduate. Honestly, if I knew that I would have taken more classes at CC just to give me a slight break at Cal (I finished CC with 60 credits, leaving me with 60 to go at Cal). </p>

<p>But yeah, I think what your friend was talking about would obviously only apply to lower division courses since those are obviously the only kind taught at CC.</p>

<p>yes, if it is a UC transferable course in your case it is, it counts!</p>

<p>For UCLA: The maximum # of units you can transfer from a CCC is 105, so you can still go back to your CCC during the summer if you have not passed the limit. Warning: Don't do concurrent enrollment at both CCC and UC institutions!</p>

<p>I am confused now. is it mean that if I finish 80 even 90 units in cc then after I transfer I only need to finish 40 or 30 units and I can granduate? Do UC system have any restriction to require transfer students at least to complete a certain amount units in UC?</p>

<p>If you have already completed your IGETC and prereqs, but only have around 60 units, what classes are there to take at CC that would need to be fulfilled at the UC? Do you just take any transferable classes simply to reach the 105 unit max?</p>

<p>I thought there was a 70 unit max for UC transferable courses taken at a CC for ALL UCs. </p>

<p>I have 70 units exactly, and I didn't know that all I needed was 50 units from Cal. Thanks Edward. :)</p>

<p>All I have to ask is "Why?". What does getting to 105 units garner you? You still have to complete your major requirements, which in most cases will easily get you to the 180 units needed to graduate. You also can't be concurrently enrolled in a UC and any other school, so that limits your CC classes to the summers. Wouldn't you like a break?</p>

<p>I sent an email to cal's counselor he said
"if all your units are from the community college, you will be coming in
with a maximum of 70 (anything that you take beyond that will count as
meeting a requirement, but will not count as additional units). You will
then have to complete 50 at Berkeley for your degree. It is up to the
individual college and campus on their policy. However, it is unusual
for any UC to grant you a degree if you have not completed at least 36
<em>on the campus.</em>"
my intended major in cal is sociology and I checked the website, it seems there are about 30 to 35 units to complete the upper division, so may be I will use the left units to get a minor.</p>

<p>I remember my advisor saying that our last chance to enroll in any more classes at the community college level is this summer '08. There after, you will not be allowed to use anymore community college classes to fulfill requirements at cal. I don't know how true the statement is so I wouldn't count on it.</p>

<p>@TheIcon: That's what I read from their website too, but now I couldn't find it anymore. >.<</p>

<p>I spoke to a Cal L&S counselor about this just the other day because I have a couple of pre-req courses to take for the minor I am interested in. I was told that in order to concurrently enroll at a CC and Cal one must appeal to the L&S dean before enrolling at CC, but it might be do-able for the right reason. For instance, I could probably take the course at the CC if my schedule doesn't allow me to take the course at Cal (and it has to be a transferable, comparable course), but I could not take the course at CC simply because it was "easier" or "cheaper". In my case, I have to work at least 15 hours/week while taking 13+ credit units, so taking this one class online would probably be OK with the L&S dean.</p>

<p>It might be different for different colleges (ie CNR might have different requirements), so check with the college before concurrently enrolling.</p>

<p>Also, if you are taking a full load at UC, taking one class at CC won't actually lower your cost. The UCs charge one fee for full time enrollment, so whether you take 13 units or 20.5 (at Cal, semester system) it is the same fee.</p>
