<p>D wants to take a summer class at a CC but the description indicates CSU/UC TRANSFER LIMIT. What does that mean? My D is is probably going to lease a CSU, go to a CC and transfer to a UC. What are the ramifications of taking a course with this description?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>This could mean a couple of things.</p>
<p>What’s the exact wording of the description of the class?</p>
<p>Also, How many units does your daughter (right? that’s what D stands for?) have at the CSU? I’m not sure about the specifics, but I think there are some specifics involved there :P. As in, if she has too many units at the CSU it might be difficult to transfer to a UC. (Someone correct me if i’m wrong).</p>
<p>absurdmike- She is Ok with regard to the CSU transfer units, she only attended one semester so she will not have a problem in that regard. </p>
<p>She is just confused with the notation of CSU/UC TRANSFER LIMIT with regard to a particular class. Someone said it might have to do with some classes that may be equal to a lesser and included class at a UC. For instance, I think it was a health class at the CC and while Health 103 may transfer, if you took Health 102 you could not get credit for both classes. Does this sound correct? She took her catalog so I am not exactly sure the description of the class.</p>
<p>Try looking up the course on the CC’s on-line course catalog to see if there is an explanation for the notation there.</p>
<p>At my community college, there was a similar phrase used with certain classes. I remember I took an econ class, it was macro economics and it was called Econ-1 but in the description it said “CSU/UC Transfer Limitations” I asked my counselor about this and she said it didnt apply to me, it was directed at economic majors. I think she mentioned something along the lines that Economic majors have to take certain classes in a certain order in order to transfer as an economic major. the phrase wasn’t just used for econ classes either, it was in the descriptions of a lot of my other classes too, like geography and college algebra and a computer class I took.</p>
<p>So, if the class isn’t related to your major then don’t worry about it. But if it is major-related I would speak to a Counselor and get an educational plan.</p>
<p>you should also check Assist.org for transferable classes</p>
<p>I will have her look at assist.org. great idea…and she made an appointment with a transfer counselor at the CC–so it should clear it up. Thanks all!!</p>
