Bit of tldr background: left Berkeley after one semester (this past fall semester), completed 14 units with a 3.4 GPA, plan to TAG to UCSB. Due to calgrant hold limits, I must finish my time at CC by the end of spring 2020 and acquire 30 units before fall 2018.
As the title states, I compared my registration time to my peers and I am nearly a week after them, and I am at one of the largest CCs in California infamous for the lack of classes due to the crowding (Mt SAC). How do I go about this? Mt SAC is the only CC I’m able to attend due to relying on my dad for transportation since he works in Walnut. I’m taking 4 units in the winter intersession right now, but I’m a bit paranoid of barely being able to get 1 or 2 classes during spring. The counselors are all booked for weeks right now and I also need prerequisite clearance. This is all extremely frustrating and stressing. Anyone ever had to deal with a similar situation?
I have some units of AP credit, but unfortunately UCSB TAG requirement only allows for a maximum of 10.7 semester units to be used. Would this still help significantly?
