<p>How long does it take to transfer if you are a full time student?</p>
<p>That is a tough question to answer. What exactly do you mean? Transfer out whenever you want to. The usual drill is either one year or two years but it depends on the situation.</p>
<p>However, it can be quite hard to get classes depending on which community college you go to. I remember when I started I never had priority during registration, which meant I was usually on the waitlist or walk-in. But then again, if I was more active in high-school, I would have known that there was a program that gave first time college students priority :(. But if you take 12+ units a semester (Fall/Spring) and 7 units (Summer/Winter) and maintain good standing or deans list you’ll finish in 2 1/2 years with an AA and transfer as well.</p>
<p>If possible, take classes at multiple colleges if need additional classes. I went to 3 different CCs over the last 3 semesters and a summer to get everything I needed as quickly as I could. I did face to face and online.</p>
<p>Usually, one or two years is the nor, but I know people who take three or four years to transfer. Do not be intimidated by closed classes. Every class I took this semester, I crashed on the first day as a walk-in and ended up getting in. Professors know that students will drop, so they usually take more than they say they can to make up for the dropped students. I was only in CC for 1 year and will have 51 units when I transfer in the fall. I have a few friends who took 12 units in the summer and 20+ units in fall and spring who got the honors certificate and an AA (or multiple in the case of one friend) in one year. I did 6 + 19 + 22 + 4 and got neither but that’s because my major prereqs didn’t fit any AA plan or the honors certificate requirements.</p>
<p>It’s really hard to say though because some CCs are bigger than others (I went to the biggest in my area) and some have better support systems in place for transfers.</p>
