<p>I took some classes at a California community college this summer and I want to transfer these units over to Berkeley so I can get better registration times. Is this possible?</p>
<p>Also, can the courses that I take at my community college be used toward major prerequisites? I've checked assist.org, but I'm not sure if these courses only apply to transfer students or to all students. </p>
<p>Furthermore, am I allowed to declare in an impacted major (public health) and state that I will take some of the prerequisites at a community college over the summer? I will be a second year student next year and I plan to double major in public health. However, I will not be able to finish all the prerequisites before I declare the major, so I need to finish some of the social science requirements over the summer.</p>
<p>i have an additional question about transfer: how easy is it to transfer from UCLA to Berkeley? i know someone who didn't get admitted to Berkeley as a freshman but still is considering a transfer...</p>
<p>tastybeef: If you're enrolled at Berkeley, you need to be especially careful about taking CC courses. For the most part, if you don't have prior approval, the courses WILL NOT transfer. Ask L&S or whichever college Public Health is in. You're going to need their specific advice on your specific case. For the most part, though, I don't believe you can declare a major, impacted or not, without having satisfied the prerequisites.</p>
<p>dawritingmachine: It's not impossible, but you will have to show just cause for wanting to transfer from one excellent university to another. On the hierarchy of transfers, UC-to-UC get few spots; they're more interested in ensuring that CCC students (who have nowhere else to go) and CSU/private university students get the chance to attend a CA public than fine-tuning the preferences of those already in the top CA public schools. That said, all he needs to do is satisfy breadth at his school and get good grades and he should be fine. The UC transfer application has no spot on it for high school achievements, so he's working with a completely blank slate and just needs to satisfy the requirements for junior-level (number of credits).</p>
<p>Possible, maybe, but even if it is it's HIGHLY unlikely he'd get accepted. I'm talking like 1-5 people accepted max, and that's if Cal even does it.</p>
<p>UCs admit for junior transfer ONLY, though they sometimes make exceptions for senior-level transfers.</p>
<p>"For the most part, if you don't have prior approval, the courses WILL NOT transfer."</p>
<p>Assist.org shows that there is a transfer agreement for those courses, but based on what you said, does that mean the agreement ONLY counts for junior level transfer applicants?</p>
<p>"For the most part, though, I don't believe you can declare a major, impacted or not, without having satisfied the prerequisites."</p>
<p>So, it doesn't matter if you tell them you will have completed by the time that you start your first semester under that major?</p>
<p>I've found that CC courses generally count for units, but they will not place you out of any classes (at least not often). That means it'll probably take you the same amount of time to graduate, but you'll have a higher class standing than others in your year (for example, I was technically a senior during my first year just because I had a bunch of CC courses, AP credits, and IB credits).</p>
<p>CCC units transfer. If assist.org says it counts for something, it does. However, if you're already a matriculated student, what you're proposing counts as dual-enrollment, and in order to receive credit for CC units you take while enrolled at Berkeley you have to have the permission -- obtained PRIOR to taking the class, though they might be able to make an exception -- from the college who hosts your major.</p>
<p>When I went to declare my major in English, I had to prove that I had already satisfactorily completed the prerequisites.</p>
