<p>Hi, I just joined today to get an answer to something I've been wondering for a while now and hopefully this can also help others out there. </p>
<p>I've asked a counselor at my CCC if my English and Math course taken at CSULA will transfer to a UC and she said it probably will. The problem is that UC won't evaluate courses before the application and this leaves me in the dark. Even if my IGETC is certified, there might be a chance my English/math class does not transfer over. I'm hoping to apply this fall and it would be helpful to clear this issue up.</p>
<p>First, has any one taken English 101 at CSULA and have it transfer over to UCLA/UCSD?</p>
<p>Second, I'm wondering do members at this site have any first hand experience having a course accepted from a CSU ->CCC -> UC? Thanks!</p>
<p>Check assist.org, and you can always send an e-mail to their admissions offices and ask.</p>
<p>Assist has no info on CSU to UC because there is no agreement between the systems. </p>
<p>Odds are the units will transfer; you can take your transcripts to a UC and they will be able to tell you that much (I took my CSU transcripts to Cal and they told me all 25 of my units would transfer). But what really matters is if they are IGETC certified, which only your CCC can decide. The admissions department at your CCC can do an IGETC evaluation of your CSULA transcripts in order to determine this. </p>
<p>Speaking from personal experience, this may take some time depending on the level of knowledge the counselors at your college have, so I would contact the head of the counseling or admissions department directly in order to get the ball rolling more quickly.</p>
<p>Yes my counselor told me that my CSU courses will transfer to the CCC and most likely to a UC. I also tried to get in touch with the UC’s to evaluate one course but they were understandably not going to make an exception over email. I’ve already enrolled in one math class for fall as part of my pre req and I’ll probably take another UC-E class in the spring just in case my CSU course doesn’t transfer over.</p>
<p>My goal is to have more people (including myself) post so this can be a resource to others in the same situation. @Calgal36 do you mind posting which CSU you attended and which courses transferred over to Cal?</p>
<p>this is an update after transferring to UCLA and applies to all students that have been to a CC and another 4 years school, then want to transfer to UCLA:</p>
<p>UC’s will allow up to 105 quarter units form a Community College when transferring in to a UC. However, other course work at a 4 year college would give someone more credit than that. So, I transferred in to UCLA with more than 105 quarter units (70 semester units) because they counted 105 units from CC and another 15 units from a four year college. This means that as soon as I transferred in, I was well onto graduating in less than two years. I did not know this until I took at look at my UCLA unofficial transcript. This was good to know because UCLA students have to declare their graduation date before reaching 160 units or pay a penalty.</p>

<p>Montnix…so are you saying they accecpted you max limit courses from a CC and also allowed the credits from a CSU? </p>
<p>And to the original poster, my daughter was told at her CC that if the CC accepts classes from a CSU to satisfy IGETC requirements than the UC school she transfers to will also accpt them. Hopefully this is the case, she has been accepted to UCSB and has submitted her IGETC certification to her CC…if there is any issue with her CSU classes being accepted, I will update here when she finds out. Good luck</p>
<p>Sockhermom: Yes, that is what I happened to me. I transferred and started at UCLA with about 115 quarter units. And my CC also certified IGETC with English and Math classes at a 4 year university so I do not have to take any lower division classes for graduation at UCLA. </p>
<p>Finally, I was glad to discover UCLA has an amazing range of freedom when it comes to transferring credits even after transferring in. This means that, with permission from counselors, students can take advantage of summer classes at another college in the US and abroad for credit. Only 35 out of the last 45 units must be earned at UCLA and only 24 upper division units have to be completed at UCLA.</p>
<p>My daughter’s IGETC was certified this morning…yea!! She took a First Year Composition (English) class at SFSU which was applied to Area A, Group A of the IGETC. She also had other CSU classes but that was the only one that we know for a fact was used to satisfy an IGETC requirement. So yep, it was not a problem.</p>
<p>As for language, she took Spanish 1-High School level in 8th grade at middle school, and then Spanish 2, while in 9th grade in high school. Her high school and middle school were on the same campus so they let middle schoolers take some high school courses. She was not sure if that was going to be a problem but she was told the requirement reads that you must be equivalent to two years of high school study and since she completed Spanish 2…it was OK.</p>
