<p>I will have taken 8 or 9 UC approved community college classes by the time I graduate. These will total 36-41 units at UCLA. I have heard somewhere that once you have a certain amount of college credits from a community college, you are treated as a transfer applicant even if you are applying as a senior in high school. Is this true? If so, how many units should I limit myself to not be treated as a transfer applicant? I am mainly taking these classes to get myself out of GE's when I go to college.</p>
<p>In addition to those units, I will have 58-66 units from AP exams (assuming I pass all my senior year exams). So I will most likely have 90+ units if and when I enroll in UCLA, does this mean that I am eligible for priority registration for classes starting my first quarter at UCLA?</p>
<p>You can still apply as a freshmen regardless of the units you have. My roommate had been taking community college classes since he was in 8th grade, and had like 150 units or something. You won't get priority registration your first quarter (because everyone registers at orientation), but after that, your first pass will be earlier because of your overall # of units. The only issue may be that you'll have to petition to go over the unit cap -- but don't worry about that yet.</p>
<p>On a side note, you're really smart to be doing this. I took 6 CC courses, they all transfered to UCLA, and I got out of a bunch of annoying requirements. CC classes transfer better than APs. Everyone I know here is jealous.</p>
<p>Thanks, nobelguy05 you thoroughly answered my questions.</p>
<p>I started taking CC courses because my high school didn't offer some AP classes I wanted to take. I only took two so far, but I have 7 more planned for senior year. I wish I started earlier, I would have finished all the GE requirements and many of my prospective major courses.</p>
<p>Oh and another question, if you take a quarter long art history class (equivalent to art history 50 at UCLA, which is 5 units), does that satisfy the VPA requirement? Or do I have to continue with it and go on to a course equivalent to art history 57 at a community college (for a total of 10 units)?</p>
<p>I actually don't know much about Art history courses and how they fulfill that requirement. ASSIST.org is a good web site where you can enter the course you're signed up for at CC, and then it will tell you the UCLA equivalent, which you can the click on to see what it counts for.</p>
<p>Yeah the art history course at cc is equivalent to art history 50 (5 units) in UCLA. I am wondering if I need to take another course in art history so that I get a year credit. I think my counselor told me that I would get a year's worth of credits for one art history class at cc though.</p>
<p>if assist.org stated that you only get 5 units that go towards VPA, then that's only 1/3 of your "Foundations of the Arts and Humanities" GE category. You still have to take classes which fulfill LCA and PLA.</p>
<p>I guess I was unclear on my question. I meant to ask that can a cc course in art history (worth 5 units at UCLA) would satisfy my "f" requirement (VPA requirement) that all high school students must meet to be eligible to apply for UCs. Or if I have to take two cc courses in art history to count it as a full year. In high schools, one cc class is worth two semesters. So does this mean taking the equivalent of Art History 50 at a cc suffice the VPA requirement I need in order to be eligible to apply for UCs?</p>
