<p>I told UCB that I would be taking 6 courses for a total of 27 units this quarter. One of my classes was worthless, so I dropped it, so now I am taking 23 units. The class seemed interesting, but after I checked it out, I realized it was pretty worthless for what I was into. I didn't tell CAL.
Although I will not have taken this course, I will have still completed IGETC, completed more than ninety units, and all my major reqs. This is my courseload:</p>
<p>Summer 2004: 5
Fall 2004: 21
Winter 2005: 28
Spring 2005: 23</p>
<p>I will have only 81 transferrable units from CC classes, but I have passed over 9 AP tests, which account for 40 semester units (60 quarter units). This puts me at 141 quarter units.</p>
<p>The Conditions of Admission Fall Semester 2005 say:
Q: If I am unable to meet all of my conditions of admission, what will happen?
A: Typically, your admission to Berkeley will be cancelled. You must contact Berkeley immediately if you believe you will not be able to meet your conditions of admission.</p>
<p>I am tripping that CAL will cancel my admission after I dropped this class. I'm gonna go down to CAL and talk to an admissions officer but what do you guys think? Has anyone else had something like this happen to them? Blehhhh.</p>
<p>I'm on the semester system, so I'm not clear on your requirements for quarter units...but if you still have enough units to transfer, completed the IGETC and have satisfied your major requirements, a change in schedule like that shouldn't be a big deal. </p>
<p>I dropped a class earlier this semester and had to notify all the admissions offices of what I'd done. So far it doesn't seem to have been a problem for anyone. They just updated my file.</p>
<p>It's a really common thing, so don't freak out -- if you still meet their qualifications unit-wise and have completed the necessary classes, dropping this one shouldn't be a deal-breaker. I'd talk to them soon, though. Congrats and good luck!</p>
<p>Collegeman123, that is bad. People like Clig, who have dropped a class that doesn't have any effect on igetc will be fine, but losing a class that keeps you from completing igetc is very dangerous for admission. I knew a guy that dropped a spanish class on his "in progress" report, which meant that igetc would not be certified, and his admission was revoked. Hopefully they are sympathetic about the school dropping the class and not you, but you better talk to them soon and get it worked out.</p>
<p>I've read in various places that exceptions have been made when classes were not available, so I'd talk to them ASAP. I think you'd have grounds for appeal if they did anything to revoke your admission since it was your school's fault and not your own. Hopefully it won't come to that for you!</p>
<p>I have the same problem here. I'm gonna drop a math class which is ONLY needed for UCSD.
I have also noticed the "Conditions of Admissions" on Berkeley's website, and the only thing we can do is just call them directly to get the answer. But personally I don't think it would be a big deal, as long as you will still have the enough 60 units for transfer and complete the IGETC by the end of the spring.</p>
<p>Collegeman, don't freak out yet -- call them and tell them the story. How can your future be destroyed because your community college's screw up? Are these people heartless? </p>
<p>I don't know if this policy is universal or not, but look what it says on Saddleback College's website about IGETC certification:</p>
<p>"Effective Fall 2000, for good cause, a student may be partially certified if deficient no more than two courses, except that all of Areas 1 and 2 must be completed prior to transfer. If partially certified, the student has the option of completing the one or two remaining courses at another community college or at the transfer institution until the beginning of the second year of transfer. Typical situations which constitute good causes for not completing one or two IGETC courses are illness, unavailable or cancelled courses, military service, and unexpected hardships, such as family or employment problems, experienced in the final term before transfer. Students are advised to contact Saddleback College's Counseling Services office for details."</p>
<p>P.S. -- It sounds to me like this is something the UC system would have had to agree to participate in for students who have good reasons why they couldn't complete a course, or how could this school offer it? </p>
<p>Are you sure there is nowhere else you can take an accelerated/short version of this class in the time you have left before summer? My school has late starting classes almost all semester.</p>
<p>I have the same exact problem but for UCLA. I am admitted but I was taking three courses at one cc (Econ 1, Econ 2, and History) and a Chemistry course at another cc after I was rejected to UCSB I dropped the three classes at the first cc because they were requirements for ucsb but not for ucla. I am already IGETC ceritified and have completed all my major requirements for ucla so I dropped them because it was a hassle attending to different cc's Misison in Sylmar and Pasadena cc. I ended up with 3 w's because the deadline passed. I reported it immediately after reading in the admission contract that I must report any changes to my work in progress. Do you guys think there is a chance my admission could be revoked because of w's? I think I was a borderline admit (Political Science 3.4) so it might affect me more than someone who say got in with a 3.8-4.0. Has anyone heard of someone who had this problem and what happened? I am so frakin' stressed out about this. After being elated after reading my admission letter now when I log on to the admitted students page instead of saying: COngratulations! it says... "we have received your updated file, it is under review and we will inform you of any changes to your admission status" I haven't enjoyed or celebrated my admission yet because of this it is really killing me to think my admission might be revoked. Any advice?</p>
<p>Also are they still admittng students to UCLA? Have all the admission decisions been given out? Is there a possibility that someone with the same or close to the same stats as me could receive my admission because they don't have my problem? ...Does anybody know if UCLA has a wailist for transfer students, and if so, is anyone or does anyone know of someone who is on it?</p>
<p>My friend was just admitted to UCLA and had to send them a schedule update as well. She had withdrawn from a physical education course that had nothing to do with anything academic, and is completely qualified units-wise, etc., without it.</p>
<p>Anyway, she has the same message on her admissions decisions page as you, and I can't imagine they will revoke her admission because she doesn't want to take pilates Thursday nights! It sounds like they do that to all admits who make changes, so you may be still be okay.</p>
<p>PS - I certainly do hope they are still admitting students to UCLA...there are a lot of us out there still pending! :)</p>
