<p>Hi, I'm transferring to Berkeley for Mechanical Engineering in the Fall. I'll be going to CalSO in July, but I want to have my schedule sorted out before then.</p>
<p>I'm having trouble figuring out which classes I'll have completed after I transfer my units. The major courses are obvious, but I don't have a clue about other things like Humanities and English.</p>
<p>I was wishfully thinking I was done with these types of courses for good. However, this doesn't seem to be the case. I have heard there are upper-division requirements for Humanities.</p>
<p>So, can someone help me identify which classes will transfer and what degree requirements will be completed?</p>
<p>Also, when units transfer, does the 70 unit cap apply to how many units they were worth at CC or how many they're worth at Cal?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>See here for H/SS requirements: <a href=“http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/requirements/hss-humanities-current-list/HSS%20NEW%20REQ.pdf[/url]”>http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/requirements/hss-humanities-current-list/HSS%20NEW%20REQ.pdf</a></p>
<p>Use [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) to see what your CC courses match up to.</p>
<p>You will definitely need two upper division H/SS course, either in the same department, or with at least one in the same department as a lower division H/SS course (taken at CC or Berkeley).</p>
<p>In addition, if you none of your CC H/SS courses is listed as an American Cultures course for Berkeley purposes on [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) , then you need to take at least one such course (which can also count toward other parts of the H/SS requirement).</p>
<p>You also need to complete at least six total H/SS courses (at CC or Berkeley), including the specific types listed above and the reading and composition courses that you presumably completed at CC.</p>
<p>What H/SS courses have you already completed at CC?</p>
<p>Thanks, I found the courses through Assist and determined what courses will transfer and what requirements will be fulfilled.</p>
<p>I’ve determined that I only need two more H/SS classes but they need to be upper division and part of a series.</p>
<p>I’ve completed classes that fulfill the American Cultures, American History, American Institutions, and Entry Level Writing requirements.</p>
<p>Now my question is, which units are transferred? There is a 70 unit cap, but what unit value does this apply to? For an example of what I’m talking about, Calculus is worth 5 units at my CC, but only 4 units at Berkeley. So when I tally up how many units I’ll be starting out with at Berkeley, do I add up the Berkeley value or the CC value?</p>
<p>“You will definitely need two upper division H/SS course, either in the same department, or with at least one in the same department as a lower division H/SS course (taken at CC or Berkeley).”</p>
<p>So does this mean, for example (hypothetically), that if I only have History H/SS lower division classes, then I would need to take 2 History upper division classes?</p>
<p>Ok, I understand what you meant about the series courses.</p>
<p>But I still can’t find any information about my other question:</p>
