<p>I believe it used to be on AskMsSun’s website. Can’t seem to find the information on the respective schools’ website, though.</p>
<p>A search for “70 units community college uc transfer” will give you guys this information. The amount of misinformation on this site is ridiculous and somewhat suspicious at times.</p>
<p>“UC awards graduation credit for up to 70 semester (105 quarter) units of transferable coursework from a community college. That means those units will be counted toward completion of your degree. Courses in excess of 70 semester (105 quarter) units will not receive unit credit but will receive subject credit and may be used to satisfy UC’s subject requirements.”

<p>Now, since 70 is less than 80, it is impossible to get to that cutoff point.</p>

<p>I don’t know what the exact rules are but i was admitted into UCLA this year with over 100 units. Your fine in my opinion.</p>
<p>@Killmyentourage</p>
<p>Can anyone give me more clarification on UCLA policy. So if I have 60 units at a 4-year university and transfer to CC I am eligible. So can I start a clean slate by transferring to a community college then have 60 units CC and only part of the 60 units I had at the university?</p>
<p>No if you have 60 units at a 4 year then you would only be able to take 10 units at a CC if the unit cap is 70. There is no way you could take 60 units at a CC and combine them with 60 units from a 4 year. That would definitely give you senior standing. You also do not get to pick and choose which classes transfer over. The UC evaluates all your courses and transfers them over at their discretion.</p>
<p>i know it has been stated that UCLA allows applicants to the School of Nursing to have over 130 units, but does UCLA also make an exception for those transferring into the engineering school?
i’ve been looking at the statistics for admitted students on [Profile</a> of Admitted Transfer Students by Major, Fall 2010 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof10_mjr.htm]Profile”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof10_mjr.htm) and it seems that many students who enrolled in ucla’s engineering school had well over 130 units.
or does UCLA not include credits from AP credit when they calculate the number of units accumulated by transfer applicants?
im hoping to do a uc transfer but right now im already at around 100 units, so i will have over 130 units by the end of the school year. however, around 40 units are from high school AP credit, so im not sure if they will count towards my unit total when i apply.
thanks!</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply LAlady, but people are saying others have taken extraordinary amounts of units at a CC and was still elgible for transfer. If anyone else has any clarification for University to CC then transfer, please give your input. I’ve give more details about my situation. I’m a Berkeley student with 62 units. I want to transfer back to a CC since i have terrible grades. Does the 62 units entire transfer to UCLA with some CC units or does the pre reqs only transfer?</p>
<p>Correcting my post, “I’ve give more…” suppose to be I’ll and “Does the 62 units entire transfer…” need to be entirely.</p>
<p>LAlady is wrong. Ignore whatever they said.</p>
<p>I can’t really be much clearer than in the post I made above @jyoungs. It’s dependent on what college you are applying to. If all 60 of your 4-yr units end up being UC transferable, you can only accumulate an additional 26 total at your CC if you are applying to colleges other than L&S/Nursing. Despite being ALLOWED to apply, you may not be admitted if you have too many units for the sole reason that you will hit the unit ceiling before finishing your major.</p>
<p>You will never have a clean slate seeing as how you already have 60 units at your 4-yr. They will be factored into your admission consideration and you have to report all of those grades. For the most part, they will probably almost all transfer unless they are really random non-ubiquitous classes. Also, if you are not in good standing with UCB, you will not be accepted at any UC. Honestly, I don’t know why you think you can succeed at UCLA if you can’t succeed at Cal.</p>
<p>@belELAY</p>
<p>Unfortunately, they do not give Engineering any leeway. However, you only need to worry about units if you’ve been to a 4-yr university.</p>
<p>(Sorry to the OP for interrupting their original question btw!)</p>
<p>hello! 
I’m at UCSD and wanted to go to cal for poli sci.
But going into fall quarter of my 2nd year, I have 88 quarter (58 semester) units and I know i’ll be over the limit by spring quarter.</p>
<p>but lots of those units come from all those AP classes back in high school. If I count the UCSD classes, i am definitely within the limit.</p>
<p>so can i still apply to berkeley?</p>
<p>To anyone that answers this, THANK YOU x100000 :)</p>
<p>@paperhearts0</p>
<p>i had the exact same question as you earlier in the thread and im not sure if this applies to cal as well, but i emailed ucla undergraduate admissions to see if units earned from ap credit would be included in the unit total. their reply was “College credit from AP exam scores will not be counted when calculating the number of units for admissions. If you are deficient in meeting the unit minimum requirement, however, we will then use your AP credit.” again, im not sure if cal works the same way as ucla, so you might want to email them to double check but my guess is that their policy is very similar. hope this helps!</p>
<p>@belELAY12 </p>
<p>awesome! actually that was REALLY helpful. thanks for replying, it means a lot!</p>
<p>I was doing research, and the UC website said kind of the same thing but not exactly. combing what you found out and what the UC website said, I think we should qualify. Good idea, I’ll definitely email them!</p>
<p>but hopefully we both will get into ucla/cal (:</p>
<p>thanks again!
here’s what the UC website said:
[University</a> of California - AP credits](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/ap-credits/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/ap-credits/index.html)</p>
<p>Berkeley:
Q: If my total number of UC transferable units is over 80, am I eligible for admission?
A: Unfortunately, not if you’ve applied to the College of Letters and Science, where most applicants with excess units are denied admission. If you’ve applied to the College of Engineering, Chemistry, Environmental Design, Natural Resources or Haas School of Business, your application will be reviewed and there may be a slight chance of admission with excess transferable units. Exception: If all of your coursework has been or will be completed at one or more California community colleges, you are eligible for admission and the maximum transfer credit you can receive is 70 semester (105 quarter) units.</p>
<p>Anyone know the limitation for UCLA for sure? Everyone admitted seems to have around 130 for HSSEAS and >100 for other schools, but I’m pretty sure these are quarter units. I’ll have about 105 semester units. =/</p>
<p>Where did you take those 105 units? 4-yr + cc? Or just cc? If it comes from just cc, you can have $14 bajilionfajilion units and they won’t care… only the first 70 will be counted</p>
<p>dollar sign? hahahah
they were all at a CC.
I’m e-mailing erkki to be definitive because this is from hsseas:
“We only accept junior level transfers, which means that you have completed 60-86 semester units or 90-129 quarter units by the time you enter UCLA.”</p>
<p>Then like I said, $14 trillion units will not kill you Only the first 70 will be counted, and the rest will be subject credits, which mean you can still use it to fulfill specific requirements.</p>
<p>“first 70?” literally?</p>
<p>the first 16 units or so include irrelevant courses like philosophy-critical thinking and precalculus.
the last 33 units, on the other hand, include courses like differential equations and circuit analysis.
so the former will count toward BS in EE while the latter won’t? =p</p>
<p>Everything will count… but only the first 70 will be “visible” on your transcript when you transfer to a 4-yr school. That will not affect you in any negative way at all. UCs do that so that no matter how many units one takes at CC, one will only be consider in junior standing :)</p>
<p>@sparkyboy</p>
<p>That’s wrong. Or at least… that’s kind of a wrong explanation. All of your 345678 CC units will be visible on your transcript and the UC that you transfer to will acknowledge all of the classes you have ever taken for subject credit (meaning you will never have to retake any of these classes). Every single one of these classes will be looked at to determine your admission. However, once you are admitted, they will only give you 70 countable “units” as an arbitrary number for how many units you are entering with. For example, this ONLY means that you still need to complete 50 more at the UC if your major requires 120 units to graduate, but all 345678 of your classes were still acknowledged as completed.</p>
