Does UCLA allow you to take CC classes during the school year?

<p>I am currently a CCC student and I'm planning on transfering to UCLA next year, a non-science major but working on requirements for pre-health. I notice UCLA only offers calculus-based physics, and all I really need is algebra based physics. If I do attend UCLA next year, *does UCLA allow you to take a class simultaneously at a nearby CCC during the regular school year? * I keep hearing different things.</p>

<p>It wouldn't be for my major by any means, and besides, UC Davis Vet School allows you to finish algebra based physics at a community college.</p>

<p>By any means, I CAN take calculus based physics at UCLA but it would really unnecessary in my case, and mess up my time because I would need to take calculus first, THEN go onto calculus based physics. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I believe you can't.</p>

3

<p>no. UCLA does not allow concurrent enrollment.</p>

4

<p>take it before transferring.</p>

5

<p>Cool, thanks guys.</p>

6

<p>Concurrent enrollment is allowed only after filing a blue</a> petition. Granting the right to enroll is rare.</p>

<p>I understand this would be during fall, winter, or spring quartes, but I'm curious as to whether lower division-UC transferable classes can be taken for credit at a CCC during summer for credit at UCLA?</p>

8

<p>yep. as long as you're not enrolled in classes at UCLA for the same time period, then its fine.</p>

9

<p>How would you be able to enroll concurrently anyways? I can only imagine SMCC as an option ..</p>

<p>i believe after you transfer, you can't take classes at a CC even during the summer. something about max units transferring, check w/ a UCLA counselor.</p>

<p>btw, taking your science prereqs at a community college is looked down on. in fact many med schools don't even look at those courses so you will run into a mountain of trouble. Id say, just take the calc-based one.</p>

<p>I'll definitely look into that UCLAri, thanks!
Thanks for the input too bruinboy I'll definitely look into it more before I come to my final decision. I know UC Davis Vet school doesn't care if you take your science pre-reqs at a CC but I am not sure about other schools. </p>

<p>Just curious, what's the closest CC to UCLA? Isn't West LA College the closest? Or SMC?</p>
