How do they count the credits?

<p>This question is pretty basic, so I'm sorry if I missed it--</p>

<p>but the colleges I'm interested in transferring to stress that a student has no less than one year of credits but no more than two years of credits.</p>

<p>When they say this, do they mean credits the student has taken at their original school? Or do they mean credits that are transferrable to the new school?</p>

<p>How does this work? I ask, because I've been taking five classes per semester and took two college credit summer classes while in high school. So now I'm afraid of going over. Would I?</p>

<p>high school college courses dont matter if they're not transferrable.
if its semester, unless you took over 15 units each semester (an achievement in itself) up until 70 units, you're fine.</p>

<p>my school counts units differently. like one class stands for one unit, not four or three. i don't know what the standard is. but thank you :)</p>

<p>bump please :(</p>

<p>r u in HS right now or in JC?</p>

<p>i am in a four-year university</p>

<p>that statment usually means that at your current school, they want you to be there atleast a year but no more than two years. </p>

<p>thats with the basic idea that in two years you will compelte 60 units, so basiclly they dont want you to have more than 60 units.</p>

<p>It depends on the school, but that statment is usually interperted like that.</p>

<p>So when a school says you need 30 credits to transfer, do they mean 30 credits before they evaluate what credits are transferable or after they determine which are? I think thats what confetti meant.</p>

<p>^ usually you have to complete these credit by a certain deadline, that various with each school your applying to.</p>

<p>thank you for the replies. sorry if i was a bit unclear. but thefreshprince is dead on: that's what i meant to ask about.</p>

<p>For the UCs, the restriction applies to all transferrable coursework, though a lot of private universities and other institutions may require different.</p>
