<p>hi, i am engineering major . i know that i have to complete GE and pre-reqs for engineering major if i wanna have a better chance.
but if i finished both of them , i will have much more than 70 semeter credis, which is not accept by the UCs.
i have attended a four-year university in another state and now i am in CCC, which means that the classes i took is not all from CCC. </p>
<p>and what if do i have more than 70 credits, will they just reject me or they will consider my application but only accept 60 credits i have completed?</p>
<p>thank you very much. your reply is very important for me.</p>
<p>The general rule is that, if you’re admitted, you won’t get more than 70 units of credit, but you will get subject credit for all of your transferable courses such that you won’t have to repeat coursework…in general.</p>
<p>Now, having completed coursework at a four year university could put you in a pickle. You may be rejected outright for having 80 transferable credits and having attended a four year university, or you may be rejected outright if you have 80-90 transferable credits all of which are from a four year university. Each campus/major handles the situation differently, and you can find the specific answer on page 12 of this document: </p>
<p>If you don’t see a policy listed specifically for the school of engineering at whatever campus you’re considering, you may want to contact them. Often, engineering majors fall under different consideration policies from other majors.</p>
<p>thanks KGZotU,
what if i took some classes that actually i dont need, eg. i am engineering major, but i took some lower-level math and science class, like college algibra, physical science for non-science major , will they count these classes as the transferable units? and thoses class kind of like consuling class?
and what is subject credit?</p>
<p>If they’re in the articulation agreement, they will be counted. You can see what all will transfer via assist.org.</p>
<p>I’m not 100% clear on subject credit, but if I understand correctly this means that while you don’t get regular credit for the class, it’s acknowledged that you’ve completed the course for the purpose of prerequisites. So, you could continue and take the next course in the chain even if you didn’t get transfer credit.</p>
<p>another quick question.
when they count the units of a class, will they count it according to the uc catelog or the CCC’s. eg. the calculus in my CCC is 5 units, but in Berkley, it is 4 units. sowill they count it as 4 or 5 units?
thank you .</p>
<p>We have to give you the units as issued on the transcripts; so if you received five semester units for the course you should receive five semester units assuming the course is transferable. The only reason you see it differ is if the course is transferring to a different term system, semester to quarter for example. A five semester unit course will grant 7.5 quarter units.</p>
