<p>Ive read that they only admit you if you are up to 86 sem units</p>
<p>but im not sure, as ive heard conflicting stories</p>
<p>can anyone help?</p>
<p>You can have [60, +infinite) units.</p>
<p>^what is your source to verify that?</p>
<p>If they’re all from a Community College you’re totally fine. Relax.</p>
<p>yeah it doesnt matter how many u have as long as they are all from a CCC, ill have over 100 units. They only transfer over 70 units (semester) and give u subject credit for the rest.</p>
<p>From the UC site:</p>
<p>"In addition, most campuses don’t admit students with 90 semester (135 quarter) units or more. "</p>
<p>Don’t know if thats for CCC or for 4-year only</p>
<p>Im too lazy to post the link right now, but on UC website under counsolers and then resources there is Q&A for transfer section. There it has all the unit caps for every UC since they all are different. I have both 4 yr and CC credits so this is how I know. Every single UC school will allow unlimited CC units if all you have is CC units. If you took even 1 credit from a 4 year then you start having caps and **** on the number of credits you have. Dont stress</p>
<p>Here’s the link:
[University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/transfer/advising/answers/applying.html#5]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/transfer/advising/answers/applying.html#5)</p>
<p>Essentially, you can have unlimited units from a CCC, but up to 70 will transfer for unit credit (as has been said previously). If you started at a four-year, then moved to a CCC, you’re ineligible for admission if you have more than 86 units from the four-year college. </p>
<p>So, you can have 86 units from a private four-year (for instance) plus 100 units from a CCC, a total of 186 units, and you’ll still be eligible for admission. If you have 87 or more units from a four-year, you’re completely ineligible for admission.</p>
<p>Dude, I am in this boat. I think you could be wrong when you said 86 from the 4 year and 100 from CC is okay. From all the correspondences I have had with UC Berk, Santa Cruz, and Davis that is the max COMBO of credits you can have. In this case you are talking about UCLA and 86 is their limit. UC Santa Cruz is 90 semester units max, that is combo of 4 yr and CC. I have 19 4 year and something like 76 from my CC. From what I was told is 70 will be used from my CC and all 19 form my 4 year will count so this brings me to 89 total. I would not be able to apply to UCLA but UCSC is okay. Of course there is exceptions. I think Davis has a different rule that even if you surpass the max allowed you will still be considered for enrollment you will just have a more in depth look at by the dept you are applying too. Berk is different in saying as long as the college you are transferring from is a CC then there is no unit cap, you fall under the example you gave about having 86 from the 4 year and 100 from CC then you are fine. </p>
<p>Check that link and read very carefully. I flipped out for about a week because my school counselor told me to drop out of school this whole year to not go over the unit cap for any school. I found that link and showed it to him, making him feel like a dip**** that he is and further sense of relief for myself because 1) could apply to UC schools and 2) didnt have to drop out of school</p>
<p>Nope you were right. UCLA has a weird exception to the rule too. My bad. Still read that link, each school is different</p>
<p>I know from experience that UCI does not set a unit max for transfers with units from 4-year and CCC.</p>
<p>if one goes over 70 units, do those units still get counted into the uc transferable gpa?</p>
<p>“UC Santa Cruz is 90 semester units max, that is combo of 4 yr and CC.”</p>
<p>I have 90+ semester units all from CCC and was accepted for Fall 2010 to UCSC.</p>
<p>Check your school in uc statfinder. For santa monica college for example the average admitted student stats showed about 79 for berkeley. 80-90 ucla. But for uci ucr and ucsb there are averages above 100 some years. I think there a lot of people in this position, its fine except for ucb and maybe ucla (depending on major amongst other factors)</p>
