<p>I'm going to have about 140 UC transferable quarter units when I get in next year, and this concerns me because I was thinking about changing majors to engineering in the future.</p>
<p>The problem is, that program has a 135 unit limit - more and you have to appeal. </p>
<p>I've commonly heard that when you transfer, somewhere between 100 and 120 units actually count for unit credit and the rest only as meeting prereqs. Can anyone clarify if for UCD, that applies? And how much exactly?</p>
<p>If I were to then change majors, would they count the 100 units from CC 'against' that 135 limit? If so, that's not much of a worry!</p>
<p>There is a transfer unit cap of 70 semester and 120 quarter units for most schools. This means that however many units you have after those amounts will only count for “subject credit”, but not towards graduation.</p>
<p>With that said, you’ll have 105 units to work with once you transfer (UCD - 225 unit max). </p>
<p>I’m not too sure about your last question, and I’m not too sure how helpful my input was lol. Hopefully someone else can chime in.</p>
<p>So you’re saying you have 40 UC-transferable units from a non-CCC (another UC, maybe?), plus 100 UC-transferable from a CCC?</p>
<p>Only 70 CCC units will be accepted for unit credit. Assuming there’s no overlap, they should accept the 40 other units as well, netting you 110 units.</p>
<p>How do you know you’re getting into Davis? You can’t TAG (students with more than 80 transferable units are ineligible), and you’re considered to have senior standing (90 or more semester units), which, IIRC, negates the advantages of being a CCC transfer (priority is give to CCC junior transfers, not CCC senior transfers). Even having over 80 units when applying to Davis makes you subject to review by a dean (thankfully not an automatic rejection like at SB, SD, and SC once you reach 90 units).</p>
<p>I’d really do some checking on whether you’re going to have problems even getting accepted.</p>
