Hello everyone :), I am a community college student planning on transferring to cal poly next fall.
On the CSUMentor web page, it says that the maximum number of units a CCC student may transfer to a CSU is 70 units. But to maximize my chances of admission, I am planning on receiving an AS-T before transferring to cal poly, so I ended up exceeding that limit by quite a lot (90+ units). So my question is, will the admissions office simply disregard any courses that do not articulate with the ones at their campus? or would they allow me to choose which courses i can transfer and which ones i cant?
I also was really interested in American History and wanted to learn a lot about it, so I ended up taking an extra class that satisfies the Social and Behavioral Sciences area of the IGETC. So now I have 4 classes that satisfy that requirement and I only really need 3 of them to complete the IGETC. on 1 of those classes, I got a B, and on the other 3 I got an A. So If I get to choose which courses to transfer to cal poly, would I be able to simply choose the 3 courses that I got an A on and disregard the 4th one since I am well over the 70 units limit? I am so confused
any information regarding this matter is appreciated, thanks!
I had about 61 units when I was rejected to just about every school I applied to and then I ended up with exactly 100 after applying again the next year. I wound up going to USC, but I had also considered UCLA before withdrawing my decision. They basically just capped me at their limit and chose which courses would transfer - they didn’t really ask. My guess is that they would choose the relevant courses/requirements. And if I know colleges, they would probably want to make it so they choose the class where you got a B I don’t know about the CSU’s, but I’m sure you can try and petition for something like that. But my guess is that they would pretty much automatically choose which courses to transfer over.
