How do you know if certain community college courses are able to be transferred?

<p>Next summer, I am planning to get rid of my GE's by taking them at a community college, either Goldenwest College, Coastline, or Orange Coast. I am a Biological Sciences major. </p>

<p>Is there any advantages / disadvantages in doing so besides just getting it out of the way?</p>

<p>Is this even possible? Do I have to take courses at UCI instead? If I do take it at UCI, how am I supposed to pay for it? Is there financial aid? Or out of the pocket? I remember it was like 4,000 over the summer.</p>

<p>I’d recommend that you get an appointment with a counselor, but the main website to look this info up is [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org)</p>

<p>At uci it’s about $1000 a class.</p>

<p>At OCC it’s under $100 and the quality of education is arguably higher as the professors there care more about teaching than research.</p>

<p>Summer classes are expensive in the Summer 2012 the cost was $271 per unit (for a current student - otherwise it was more). So a typical 4 unit course would cost you $1084. </p>

<p>During a regular quarter there is a flat fee no matter how many units you take - up to the maximum allowed.</p>
