greater than 70 unit cc to uc transfer

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>so, as far as I know, you get "credit" for completion of any class when you go above 70 units, but it doesn't count towards your units. If this is the case, does that mean the units that aren't counted don't go towards your gpa considered when transferring?</p>

<p>I have a 3.1gpa with 58 units complete. I have to apply next semester, which leaves me a bunch of room to take potential classes. If it were the case that I can "count" classes towards my transfer gpa, I could get rid of a lot of Cs in ****ty GEs I wasn't interested in when I was younger.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help</p>

<p>you get credit for the class, but the units dont carryover. And ALLLLL grades count in your GPA. Sucks, i was hoping they wouldnt as well</p>

<p>dang. talk about disadvantaged!</p>

<p>It’s not really a disadvantage, you still get subject credit for all the classes you take. They limit how many units carry over because they expect transfer students to stay at the UC for two years.</p>

<p>As for GPA, well, what else would they do? Drop all your lowest grades? That’s not how an average works, and it wouldn’t be fair to other students.</p>

<p>All grades are factored into your transfer GPA, but when you transfer your GPA resets. You’ll have a clean slate, and the UC will only factor your UC grades into your GPA.</p>

<p>As others have said, all the UC-transferable courses you take will affect your GPA, no matter how many you have. If you have 250 Units (exaggeration) worth of units and it comes out to a 3.5 GPA, then you have a 3.5 GPA. They are not going to count your best classes with the best grades to determine your GPA. That would not be fair the rest of us…</p>

<p>So, take easy classes and boost your GPA with all that extra time you have! Maybe get a job and save for college or try doing research at a local UC. Maybe do all of that!</p>

<p>If we take classes that are prerequisites for our major after 70 units, does that mean it is fine?</p>

<p>verychinkyasian: Yes, you can continue to take classes after you hit 70 units. Literally the only thing this rule refers to is the number of units school will count as having been completed. There’s usually a unit requirement for graduation (I think 120 semester units?), so this rule is to ensure that transfer students spend two years at their UC or something.</p>

<p>tl;dr: It’s fine, yes you can take classes and get credit.</p>

<p>So that means if I take a prereq class after 70 units, after I transfer, I will not have to take it again?</p>

<p>If the class has an articulation (so, if assist.org says it’ll transfer) you won’t need to retake it after transferring.</p>
