<p>I attended a csu last year for an entire year and will be attending a cc for the school year this fall. I'm also planning to apply to UCs. Does this not make me a cc student when I apply?</p>
<p>No, if you have the majority of your units taken at your CC, AND your last school attended (which is the one you’ll be attending when you apply for the UCs) is a CC, then you’re a CC student.</p>
<p>You will be a cc transfer, but you will also be subject to the unit cap that some UCs impose. Don’t quote me on this, but I think you can have up to 70 semester units total (cc and csu combined).</p>
<p>2016Candles: The only Requirements are that you take 12 units in residence at the CCC applying from not 30 it’s a common misconception because you need 30 total to apply for admission to a UC and you have to be at the CC for the Fall and Spring semester, however, it is only required that you take 12 units from the CCC applying from to be considered a CCC transfer student from that CC.</p>
<p>Luckyclucky: Yes, provided you have 30 semester or 45 quarter units when applying, a 3.5 minimum GPA by the end of the Fall and meet the other TAG requirements including 12 units in residence (while attending) your CCC and you must be attending there for both the fall and Spring semesters during the year you are applying for admission or the TAG.</p>
<p>I’m correcting both you and the OP in saying that. This is directly from the UCSD Admissons Website: </p>
<p>To be considered a California community college (CCC) student, you must meet all 4 of these conditions:</p>
<p>Be enrolled at 1 or more CCCs for at least 2 terms, Completetion of 12 UC transferrable units in residence at the CCC applying from, and
Attend a CCC as the last college before being admitted to UC San Diego, and
Complete at least 30 semester UC-transferable units (45 quarter units), and
Be in good standing during your last regular term.</p>
UCSD, like every UC school, must follow the UC policies. The UC policies are given in the link in post #1. Where is your link so everyone can see what you say?</p>
<p>For anyone thinking they can take just 12 units at a CC and qualify as a CCC student, I suggest you independently verify that will work by contacting UCSD admissions [Contact</a> Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.ucsd.edu/contact/]Contact”>Contact Us)</p>
<p>@matt- click the link in the Op’s original post- it takes you directly to the UC official definition of a CCC student. I don’t know where you’re getting your info, but I prefer to get mine directly from the UC site. What documentation have you seen that says you only need12 CCC units?</p>
<p>From the specific UCSD site not just the generalized UC site.</p>
<p>It’s two semesters as well as 12 CCC units in residence at the specific CCC applying from and having that be the last college attended as well as having a GPA of 3.5 and 30 total units.</p>
<p>I’ve looked on their website (UCSD) and spoken to 3 counselor a about this.</p>
<p>@ Matt- I believe that the implied meaning of the 30 units they referenced means 30 units at a CCC. Since we all know that you have to have 60 units to transfer at all, it only seems logical that the 30 units they’re referring to in this link are in reference to your CCC units not just total overall units. The UC definition of a CCC student is very clearly defined. While different schools may have different criteria for admission, or they look at different aspects of a student’s history, the UC definition of the CCC student is not negotiable.</p>
<p>Implied or not, it’s explicitly stated for the specific university. I have talked to 2 counselors in the past 7 days who specialize in the TAG and they stated that each specific UC has their own definition of a CCC transfer with that given 2 or more may have the same definition, but there are a few that differ from the generalized definition with the 2 semester, 12 unit and 30 unit requirements as stated above. Check with your CC as well as a UCSD TRANSFER REP because this is what I was informed of from my EOPS counselor who used to work in the admissions office at UCSD 4 years ago.</p>
<p>I think the actual wording of what they stated, the counselors, with confirmation from the UC, was that though the UC’s do not recognize AA degrees as advantageous for admissions purposes if a student gains an Associate’s degree who has only gained 12 units while at a CCC and that is the last college attended with a minimum of 2 semesters in attendance and and overall total of 30 units when applying and 60 when transferring then they can be considered for admission as a CCC student, while they don’t recognize the degree they do recognize that you met the CCC’s requirements to get the degree while matching their own requirements.</p>
<p>I’m about 95% that was the wording/explanation given from 2 different counselors specialized in transferring and one of which who previously worked at the University of California San Diego, the school we are talking about.</p>
