<p>I have 54.9 units from a UC, 15.9 of which are on my transcript as originating from accepted AP scores. Now I'm at a CCC and finishing up an AA and transfer requirements, and by the time I'm done I'll have a grand total of over 120 units. I know that I am fine for transfer to the schools I have in mind (UCB, UCLA) as the number of units accrued at a 4 year are less than the 80 and 89 unit limit respectively. My question however is, after transfer, how many units will I be considered as having? I have seen that if all coursework was at a CCC then generally about 70 units will transfer. Will they actually try to transfer 70 of my CC units? Or will they accepts my 54.9 4 year university units and then enough CC units to ~total~ 70? Or none of the above?</p>
<p>Also, in case it makes a difference, my 54.9 units were from UCB from which I withdrew via petition for medical reasons, so my readmittance there is not competitive. Will my total resulting units after my stint at a CCC be different in a transfer to UCLA vs. a re-entry to UCB?</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>My question may be a bit silly, because I can’t imagine that a full 70 units will transfer from my CC work – at the UC I would then have 124.9 units and certainly could not complete a major before the unit cap, even not counting the 15.9 AP units. I cannot imagine their guarantee of admission eligibility could ever possibly be given if there was any circumstance under which you would be unable to complete any existing major. But I don’t know how many CC units they will allow me to take or insist that I take. If they will only take enough CC units so that I have 70 total units (meaning they took only 15.1 CC units), I’ll be left having to take enough classes to reach 120 units, which is way more than those needed to satisfy my major, but I could do and enjoy that if needed.</p>

<p>So I spoke to them about this, and I was basically told that they would take as many units as they could up until I had 70 units total. They also indicated that I am required to take on those units, which I was hoping wouldn’t be the case so I would have more space to meet my double major in the unit cap.</p>
<p>FWIW, I believe you’ll get subject credit for all completed courses. This fulfills requirements, but does not count toward the number of units required for graduation.</p>
<p>If some of your original UC units were major courses, this may allow you to pursue a double major. I kind of doubt that’s the case, though, since you left as a second year. I’d guess you did a lot of GE courses twice.</p>
<p>So I’m back into Berkeley. They take all CC units up until you have a total of 70 UC countable units, so basically you transfer in as a junior. They will apply more units towards the graduation requirement if you need, but you are only forced to take up to a total of 70 units between prior UC units and CC units. In my case, I will have 70 units, am double majoring so my unit cap is 136, meaning I have 66 units available to take. Plus, of the 70 UC units, 15.9 are from AP scores, and those don’t count towards the unit cap (but they do count amongst the 70 unit limit you are forced to transfer), so I actually have 66 + 15.9 = 81.9 units I can take before I hit the unit cap. That’s good because I need to take 85 units, and will be able to jam in the extra into my last semester. That’s the full answer to my original inquiry.</p>

<p>So it seems that they can’t exactly make up their minds. My last post was mainly correct, except they are doing some weird things, and long story short, they are holding me to 70 units towards my unit cap, but for some reason they are not letting me discount AP from those units. So they are leaving me 66 units towards my double major with this approach. This approach doesn’t make sense to me, since now I seem to have 70 units being counted towards my cap, but somehow that 70 units don’t even have AP units in there, or else they’d be discounted. It’s like, where’d the AP units ~go~? Those units have been part of my record ever since the beginning. The only thing they are supposed to deduct is CC units past a certain point – that would leave the AP units with me, with would then still require deduction. Two counselors agreed it should work the way I just mentioned, but now that I’m back and enrolled, two sit-down counselors are disagreeing. Blech.</p>
