CCC wont get admitted to a UC because to many units.

Transfer Students
1

<p>Right now I am a community college student and by the end of my schooling at the community college I will have about 100 transferable units to the UC system. I just recently found out that most UCs starting Fall 2014 will no longer admit community college students because of being over whatever the UC school has decided. I am a nutrition major and would like to transfer to UC Berkeley or Davis, but theyre limits apparently will be UCB: 90 units and UCD: 80 units... My question is, should I even bother doing the harder classes? I mean, the CSUs take less difficult classes and the only reason Im taking the more difficult ones is because I want to transfer to a UC. Im really unmotivated now about schooling since I worked so hard to maintain a good GPA and do extra curricular activities to even stand a chance. Now knowing that I wont get admitted because it being I have too many units instead of it being on grades and extra curricular has really bummed me out. I hate the education system...</p>

<p>I don’t think you’re understanding the policy correctly. The UCs are still accepting CCC students and the students will only be able to transfer in a certain amount of credits at the UC level. It doesn’t not mean you cannot be admitted because you exceed the limit that can be transferred in. Any units above the limit will not count towards your graduation in terms of units but they will be taken as course credit (satisfy a course requirement, etc) </p>

<p>“All lower division level units…are limited to a maximum of 70 semester (105 quarter units) TOWARD THE UC DEGREE (not admissions) and DO NOT put the applicants at risk for being denied admissions for excessive units”</p>

<p>Sorry for the caps, I’m on my phone so it’s just easier to type. Engineering majors commonly exceed these limits. All CCC courses are lower division units (hence the term 2-year college) as noted above. Don’t worry about it, you’re fine.</p>

<p>You should be meeting with a transfer adviser so you understand the requirements and are doing the right things to guarantee your admission to at least one campus.</p>

<p>I transferred to ucla a year ago and I had over 120 units (switched from non stem to stem major). The only issue is that they capped my transferable units at 70</p>
