<p>No, we’re saying that if all your units come from a CCC, then it doesn’t matter how many you take BEFORE transferring (60-million), only a maximum of 70 transfer over. Once at a UC, you are subject to THEIR unit cap but you only have 60-70 semester units once you arrive.</p>
<p>so you people are basically telling this guy to go for 100 units even though he can only transfer 70? Yea really great advice. Have fun taking a year of extra units that wont transfer. And experiment, how many of those units were transferable? Im talking about transferable units. I am not talking about taking classes for no reason I am saying that there is a maximum number of units that will transfer thats all. Why would somebody take classes for no reason?</p>
<p>no one said that you can take an unlimited number of units at the UCs. People said that you can take as many units as you want as long as they’re all from CCC and you’re applying to L&S for admission purposes.</p>
<p>For berkeley L&S:
"College of Letters and Science: A student who has accumulated more than 80 transferable semester units from a four-year institution is considered to have excess units and will not be admitted. A student who has completed 80 or fewer UC-transferable semester units at a four-year university and then transfers to a community college will not accrue excess units and will be considered for admission.</p>
<p>Students who have attended only a community college will be granted subject credit, but not unit credit, for appropriate two-year college coursework taken in excess of the community college 70-unit limit; such subject credit may be used to satisfy/complete requirements."</p>
<p>for UCLA L&S
“For the College of Letters and Science, a student who completed 86 or fewer UC-transferable semester units (129 or fewer transferable quarter units) at a university then transferred to, and remained exclusively at, a community college does not exceed the maximum units allowable for admission purposes.”</p>

<p>"UCLA will apply up to 70 semester or 105 quarter credits completed at a community college toward the degree. Units earned in excess of this amount may satisfy subject requirements (general education/preparation for the major), but no further unit credit toward the degree will be granted.</p>
<p>In addition, if you are a student in the College of Letters and Science and have completed 105 quarter units, regardless of the institutions attended, you will not receive unit credit toward the degree for courses completed at a community college. Units earned in excess of this amount may satisfy subject requirements (general education/preparation for the major), but no further unit credit toward the degree will be granted."

<p>call UCLA admissions if you don’t believe us. There’s no way i would have gotten in if the cap was at 86 units.
here’s the email i got from ucla when i asked them last year: </p>
<p>“An applicant may apply for admission as a freshman or as a transfer student. We only accept transfer applicants who have reached junior level standing by the time they transfer. (Junior level = 60-86 semester units or 90-129 quarter units). If you are coming from a community college, however, you must meet the minimum, but the maximum does not apply.”</p>
<p>Science and engineering majors generally go over 70 units because they have many major pre-reqs to take in addition to completing IGETC or breadth requirements.</p>
<p>For example: typically bio majors have to complete:
1 year of biology - 10 units
1 year of calculus based physics - 10 units
1 year of calculus - 10 units
1 year of general chem - 10 units
1 year of organic chem - 10 units</p>
<p>Right there is 50 units not counting any breadth and assuming you place into calculus and general chemistry</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>well, i took french 1 and a semester of trigonometry in high school due to my counselor’s mess up, i didnt get to take all those required class, and had to take a bunch of useless elective. </p>
<p>so, i decided to take spanish instead in college and they’re putting me in college geometry/algebra. and one of the pre-req of gen-chem is chem68, so that’s why i plan to take it asap, and biology6 is gen biology I.</p>
<p>and so do you guys mean that only 70 units will be transferred,but all the classes that i took as an undergrad will be counted, just with no units instead. or does it just cancel out completely like i never took it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>are you sure? because these are listed as minimum requirement, not recommended. if this is true, i can lighten my load quite a bit. hah.</p>
<p>70 semester units will transfer over and count towards graduating (you need a certain amount of units to graduate. The rest of the units become I believe “subject units.” That is the college has record of it, but it does count towards meeting any graduation requirements. </p>
<p>As for completing major preparation, it’s not a requirement that everything needs to be completed. However, some impacted majors may specify a minimum be done or in the extreme case, all. Again, the more completed the better chance you have.</p>
<p>i just noticed i kinda hi-jacked this thread, sorry OP.
and thanks everyone for the information, really helped me out.</p>
