<p>Hey guys I want to transfer to either uc irvine or usc for my junior year. Im currently a freshman i messed up in one of my classes. its quite possible i could end up with a d , but most likely it will be a c-. If i retake the class during sophomore year, would the credits stack? What i mean is would i still get 3 credits for the c- and 3 credits during my sophomore year? Because for uc irvine you need 60 credits by the time you reach junior year. This would mean i would most likely have to take an extra course if the credits do not stack.</p>
<p>You would only get 3 credits I believe because its only one 3 credit course. Retaking a course doesn’t make it a new course, unless the UCs have a werid policy.</p>
<p>does that mean im going to have to take 18 credits fall semester in order to finish with 60? do you think 6 classes in one semester is doable?</p>
<p>my classes would be:
anthropology 151
geog 101-class im repeating 
Political science 110
greek roman mythology
eng 271 -american literature after 1900s
Hawaiian studies</p>
<p>I guess, or you could take a class in the summer.</p>
<p>Six classes should be fine, as long as you don’t work too many hours each week and are willing to spend less time socializing that semester. I took four math / physics / chem classes this semester, and I work 30+ hours each week, but I’m going to be finishing all of the classes with A’s. However, I’ve hung out with my friends a total of like twice this entire semester, so you will definitely have to cut back in that area of your life.</p>
<p>thanks guys for the advice! Well im finishing my freshman year with 31 credits. So if i just take an extra elective for both fall and spring semester during sophomore year, ill finish with 60.</p>
<p>so fall semester ill take 13 credits(since the repeat course doesnt count as credit) and for the spring ill end up with 16.</p>
