CSU to CC to UC and financial aid

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Hi im currently a first semester freshman at SDSU and i was planning on finishing my first semester and withdrawing after to attend a cc. Will my chances of transferring to a UC be less because i have one semester of SDSU or will i now be considered a cc transfer becuase i have more cc units than csu units. Oh and i was wondering if my financial aid from sdsu such as the pell grant and cal grants both living allowance and tuition grants will transfer to the cc as well?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>In most cases, I think after a semester/two semesters you’re considered a CC student; honestly, I don’t think you have much to worry about. I have about 20 units from two schools other than a CC and I am hopeful about getting into a UC</p>

<p>You should be fine. I would suggest confirming this with the respective UC’s you are looking at applying to though. </p>

<p>Personally, I took my freshman year at a CSU (25 units) and now go to a CC and I am considered a CC student, so I don’t see why you wouldn’t be.</p>

<p>thanks for the responses, i have one more quick question CalGal if i were do my second semester at a cc will my financial aid such as pell grant and cal grant carry over?</p>

<p>That I’m not sure of. If it does carry over though, you’ll probably get less aid.</p>

<p>Mine didn’t carry over, but that’s because my parent’s income was too high for community college standards, so a bit of it depends on your own situation.</p>

<p>I really do not think you can expect SDSU to provide you with financial aid to attend a different school so you would probably have to apply again through your new school. I think CCC students are expected to live at home so there will be no reason to provide a living allowance and tuition is still so low at CCCs there probably will be no grants for tuition either.</p>
