<p>I currently go to San Jose State University as a freshman and I realize that it is easier for me to transfer from a community college to a UC than from a CSU due to priorities and competition.
The tuition will also be cheaper for me at a community college.</p>
<p>I want to drop San Jose State University after the 1st semester which is around December or January and enroll at a community college for Spring 2012.</p>
<p>I am currently taking Math19 Precal Seminar, Math19 Precal Workshop, English 7 Critical thinking, and English 1A Writing Composition.
Would the units for these classes I take at SJSU transfer over to a community college which will eventually transfer to the UC that I want to go to?
Would I be able to transfer after 1 semester at SJSU or would I have to finish a whole year at SJSU before doing so?
Since I will have finished 1 semester at SJSU, would I have to take 4 semesters (2 years) at Ohlone or just 3 semesters (1.5 years)?</p>
<p>Just looking for some good advices</p>
<p>To transfer from a cc there is no set amount of years to take, there is set number of courses to complete, so you could do it in 1.5 years taking a full course load ( maybe less if you do summer classes ). Generally articulation between CC and UC revolves around the IGETC, which is a liberal arts AA degree roughly equivalent to the lower division classes offered at a CSU’s and UC’s. Your CSU credits will count in the CC.</p>
<p>But while it’s possible I wouldn’t recommend this course of action. The IGETC guarantees a transfer spot in the UC system, but in a specific UC, so it depends on what UC you are trying for. I don’t know if it is possible with your schedule, but you are allowed to be enrolled in both a CSU and CC at the same time. I don’t know if it is actually true you have better chances of getting in a UC from a CC, I can’t debunk it, but it seems rather odd. Before withdrawing, consider talking to your councilor about taking a semester (or 2) off to try out CC. I’m not positive about this, but you should drop by your local CC counseling office and ask them as well.</p>
<p>good luck in whatever you decide to do</p>
<p>@JP - I don’t know which is worse. The fact that you gave advice to a 10 month old post or the fact that your advice is filled with incorrect information.</p>
