<p>How exactly can I use AP credit to help me when I transfer? Supposedly I already have 32 units using this chart and probably will be getting at least 16 more. UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: AP Credit - School of Engineering and Applied Science</p>
<p>Won't using AP credit ruin TAP or is that not important for engineers?
Also what is the maximum amount of units someone can have coming out of community college? (with and with out ap credit)</p>
<p>Should I take the AP Economics tests today?</p>
<p>Anyone have previous experience transferring using AP credit that can help?</p>
<p>I used AP credit to fulfill some requirements for IGETC. It lessened the load of GEs I needed to transfer. I'm not sure about major specific requirements, but I do know that certain majors will only take certain APs and/or a certain amount of those type of credits. Also, AP stuff didn't ruin TAP for me. I don't see how it would.</p>
<p>if your ccc is on a semester system you simply add up all your units from your ccc (excluding any you may have received for AP courses), multiply that number by 1.5 (conversion from semester to quarter units) and then add the units you would receive at the respected UC for the AP score.</p>
<p>Example: i will have completed approximately 70 units at my ccc by the time i transfer. i also got a 5 on an AP exam back in high school. here's how the math will work out:
70 units (at ccc) x 1.5 (conversion) + 4 units (AP credit) = 109 units</p>
<p>make sure you don't add the AP credit that you ccc gives you when you count up your units. a friend of mine accidentally did that and was told by the UCLA and UCSD reps that she was off 0.5 units when she thought she had more than enough.</p>
<p>There is NO max units you can have from CC- you can take as many as you want. They will give you UNIT credit for only 105 quarter units though, anything over that is used to meet preqs and satisfy requirements but it can not be used to meet the total number of units needed for graduation. Meaning that you need 180- the most that can count from CC is 105- if you have more than 105 they count for any requirements but just not for the number.</p>
<p>TAP gives you priority consideration in the College of L&S- not College of Engineering
IGETC also doesnt work for Engineering.</p>
<p>///redacted bc im stupid, ignore///</p>
<p>Let me summarize what you guys have helped me out with. </p>
<p>First off let me tell you guys that I haven't gone to orientation yet and don't really know much about units or quarter/semester and stuff like that, but I am sure my college is semester. So that means the amount of units I need to take is 70? (I don't really understand can someone clear that up) </p>
<p>I counted 50 units available at my schools from the assist pages for my major (pre requisite units required). There may be 4 more in the English department I didn't really understand that. ASSIST</a> Report: SANTIAGO 07-08 UCLA Articulation Agreement by Major</p>
<p>So I would use my AP US test, Spanish, mac/mic-roEconomics (assuming I pass), US Govt (assuming I pass) to fulfill (some? I have no idea what or how IGETC works) IGETC right?
This is a really open ended question, what do I do about classes to take besides on the Assist page? (and answer the question just above please)</p>
<p>You need a minimum of 60 semester units to transfer. </p>
<p>There are 54 Units in your Community college that you need to take- unless some of those AP credits satisfy some of those courses</p>
<p>IGETC Doesnt WORK for Engineering. Go to the Engineering website and look up what courses are required for General Education Completion for HEEAS. </p>
<p>The courses listed on that Assist page should be COMPLETED by the spring b4 transfer if you want a solid chance at admission. Those are the required prep courses for your major. In addition to those 54 units there is also the General Education Requirements you have to meet. Look up what they are and where you can use your AP courses</p>
<p>Effective Fall 2005 HSSEAS has changed its GE requirement. The complete requirement is shown below.
We recommend that transfer applicants complete, in addition to the two required English composition courses, 2-3 electives from those listed below. You must complete at least one course from Social and Behavioral Science or Arts and Humanities to be eligible for admission. (We do not accept IGETC certification, but courses may be selected from the IGETC areas in parentheses below)</p>
<p>To graduate from UCLA, you must have completed the following:</p>
<pre><code>* one course equivalent to UCLA's English Composition 3
(generally found as Writing 1A or Writing I)
* one Writing II composition course
(generally Writing 1B or Writing II)
* one Engineering Ethics course, to be taken at UCLA
* one life science elective (not required for Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, and Biomedical option of the Electrical Engineering majors)
(select one from Biological Science, lab not required)
* Two electives from Foundations of Society and Culture: one from Historical Analysis and one from Social Analysis
(select two courses from Social and Behavioral Science)
* Two electives from Foundations of Arts and Humanities: one from each of two chosen groups: the groups are Visual and Performance Art, Literature and Cultural Analysis Philosophical and Linguistic Analysis
(select two courses from Arts and Humanities)
</code></pre>
<p>Those are the General Requirements for HSSEAS.</p>
<p>In parenthesis they list the IGETC course section that satisfies that requirement. When you go to your community college and pick up the IGETC form you can look at that section , Lets say ARTS AND HUMANITIES for example, and it will list all the courses that satisfy that requirement at your community college- you would chose two to complete. </p>
<p>Basically you just use IGETC as a reference, you SHOULD NOT follow it because you will take a bunch of extra courses, ones that HSSEAS does not require. </p>
<p>You might however (and most likely will) with your major preparation courses and the required HSSEAS general education courses listed above satisfy all the IGETC things anyways.</p>
<p>I assume you will apply to more than just UCLA- and IGETC will be beneficial to meeting other schools GE requirements.</p>
<p>I think I found the list of courses...
<a href="http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/ge/GE-EngrNew07-08.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/ge/GE-EngrNew07-08.pdf</a></p>
<p>But I still don't understand what community college courses those translate into. Will my counselor know this stuff? Should I ask an admissions person what prerequisites I may have AP credit for or will my counselor know? My orientation is Tuesday (I really want to transfer in 3 semesters or somehow 2).</p>
<p>Go to the website for Engineering- i copied the list of courses for you above. ON the engineering website it says what courses on the IGETC meet that requirement. </p>
<p>The iGETC you get from your community college. </p>
<p>Go to orientation first, then ask questions, it should all make more sence to you once you see the papers.</p>
<p>Has anyone that was accepted to Berkeley sent their AP scores yet? I did and I received the copy they sent to my house about a week ago but Berkeley hasn't put them up on the myberkeley site yet. Has this happened to anyone?</p>
<p>I just went to orientation and asked to come back on saturday to register, because I wanted to ask you guys and do more research about classes I need to take + plus other reasons...</p>
<p>So with my passed AP scores my CC can give me credit for classes. Is this a no no? I mean is it better to just not take those classes and ask the UCLA to give me credit?
The example I used was the CC will give me CC credit for Chem219 which I need for my major if I show them my AP scores. However on the [url=<a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/APCreditEN.htm%5DUCLA">http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/APCreditEN.htm]UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: AP Credit - School of Engineering and Applied Science<a href="I%20got%20a%203%20on%20the%20AP%20chem%20test">/url</a> it says I only get introductory Chemistry credit... What does that mean? Should I show them my AP chem score?</p>
<p>The one thing you need to know about AP scores, and I learned this the hard way, is that the uni you transfer to will give you credit based on your ap score, not what a CC gave you credit for. Now, the best way to find out how much credit you'll get at UCLA is to make an appointment with a UCLA transfer rep at your CC's transfer center. They should be able to answer any questions you have about that kinda stuff. If I were in your situation I would just retake the classes in question, get A's in them and be done with it :), but since it seems like you want to minimize your time in CC you should probably ask the UCLA rep first.</p>
<p>GoMiamiDolphins</p>
<p>It means that your AP score is not sufficient to meet the requirement for that major.</p>
<p>You need 1 year of general chemistry for Aerospace Engineering (i think that is your major, right?) - your score of 3 will only give you credit for Introductory chemistry. </p>
<p>You would need to take General Chemistry at your CC to satisfy that requirement for UCLA. Otherwise when you get there, you will have to take it.</p>
<p>I highly recommend that everyone take an AP test in a foreign language. If you get a 4 or a 5, you'll most likely have all foreign language requirements waived for potentially the rest of your educational career. I took the AP German and AP Spanish tests, got 5s and I'll probably never have to worry about foreign language requirements ever again.</p>
