Chem 14 Series-how does it work?!

<p>I am a Pre-Psychobiology major (Freshmen, Fall 2009) and was planning to take CHEM-002-002 General Chemistry I at UC Merced (as I live in Merced) during their summer session. However, the UCLA chem dept told me doing so would put me in the Chem 20 series not the Chem 14 series-how is that so? I know that the Chem 14 series means 14A, 14B, 14BL, 14C, 14CL, and 14D-but what does that even mean? HELP! IM SO CONFUSED!</p>

<p>i THINK transfer courses can only count for the 20 series. i dont know if someone mentioned that to me or if im just making it up, but either way, it looks like you cant get credit for the 14 series.</p>

<p>i dont see why you would want to anyways. 14B isnt offered in the fall i believe (it wasnt this year), so you would be on the normal track for chem anyways since you would be forced to take 14B in the winter if you even got credit anyways.</p>

<p>take a GE or math this summer instead.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help! Does UCLA offer any summer courses onlie?</p>

<p>^nope, we’re not University of Phoenix.</p>

<p>Yes, UCLA does offer a few summer classes online. Go to the web page for summer sessions and look for online classes. They are only offered in Theater, Film & TV and some grad classes but they are legit UCLA classes taught online during session C. They show up on your transcript as having been taken during summer, nothing is notated about them being online. Some of the classes might count towards GE’s but I’m not sure.</p>

<p>why not just take the 14 series with everyone else from the beginning (14b is not offered in the fall because no one can pass out of 14a, so no point of offering a 300 student class in the quarter where less than 100 people would sign up) but just take 14a in fall and 14b in winter, its perfect because those are the quarters most people take it so there will be more lectures and more spots</p>
