<p>How many years can you stay at a UC after you transfer to it? Is it up to you or is there a limit on how long you can stay? I am transferring in one year from a community college so I wanted to stay at the UC to which I get into for 3 years.</p>
<p>you can not take more than 216 quarter units. If it takes you 10 years to accumulate that amount then go for it. If you go over your unit max they can choose to not issue your degree. However, you CAN go over the unit max if you are only staying for two years. They want you out in two or in 216 units or les.</p>
<p>My ex-gf told me that after you transfer you have 3 years in order to complete your degree. It doesn't matter if you're a junior transfer from a CC or a sophomore transfer from another UC.</p>
<p>^ absolutley not true. I would have surpassed the 3 year thing if i stayed at UCLA due to my major and not going summers and only takeing 12 units a quarter.</p>
<p>how about double major or minor ?someone even do tripple major</p>
<p>I think that this was discussed in an earlier thread, and the consensus was that you're free to do a double or triple major as long as you can do it in two years...for upper division transfers at least.</p>
<p>One thing I might add, is that I've read on my prospective department's website at Berkeley that if you've got it all planned out ahead of time and there's a good reason then it might be possible to extend these cut-offs with departmental support.</p>

<p>What do u mean in two years? A lot of my friends stayed in UCLA about 3year and 1 quarter or more to get double degree or other minor .</p>
<p>I don't have even second hand evidence, just the apparent consensus of the board. (;</p>
<p>Two year thing is all BS.</p>
<p>Transfers' Graduation Rate:</p>
<p>Within two years - 56%
Within three years - 83% (27% of all transfers graduate in their 3rd year)
Within four years - 89% (6% of all transfers graduate in their 4th year)
Remaining 11% do not graduate (at least not from UCLA).</p>
<p>Truth is, you can take as long as you like as long as you do not go over 216 unit cap (at least for UCLA), whether you single, double, or triple major.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley is a whole another story due to their semester system, but from my understanding, the school will want transfers to graduate in two years, and for double majors, they'll give you an extra semester to finish. If you go beyond that, they'll give you hard time.</p>
<p>yea. dhl3 may say rite. anyone know the unit cap for another UCs as SB,Irvine, Davis, Riverside, SC</p>
<p>yah i wanna graduate within 2yrs but the reality says 2yrs half to 3yrs..</p>
<p>for ucla you can have the unit cap waived if you complete whatever it is you want to complete in 2 years. Meaning it is 2 years or 216 units. so if you want to triple major and you need 300 units for that, then you better do it in 2 years, or with some rare exceptions they will let you go over, but in the general sence it is 216 or 2 years.</p>
<p>I heard if you want to continue after 216units they let u take at the UC extensions..</p>
