How to be considered a Community College Transfer?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Right now, my friend is at a CSU. He's a sophomore and he's considering applying to the UC's. He's taking 9 units right now at a Community College along with his 11 at SJSU right now. If he drops out of SJSU and goes to a CC next semester, will he be considered a CC applicant? He's planning on cramming a ton of classes next semester so he can have the majority of his units as CCC units. The biggest problem I see is that he won't be considered a "full-time" CCC student because he only took 9 CCC units this semester WITH his 11 SJSU units.</p>

<p>I've been told 2 things about being considered a CCC transfer:
-You have to attend a full year as a full-time student at a CCC in the year you're applying
-You have to have the majority of your units from a CCC.</p>

<p>If you could help my friend out, that'd be great. Thanks guys.</p>

<p>I think it’s 30 credits and one year before transferring.</p>

<p>Definition of a California community college transfer:
A California community college student applying for admission to UC as a junior transfer will be given priority admission over other similarly qualified
applicants if: 1) he/she was enrolled at one or more California community colleges for at least two terms (excluding summer sessions); and 2) the last
college he/she attended before admission to a UC campus was a California community college (excluding summer sessions); and 3) he/she has completed
at least 30 semester (45 quarter) UC-transferable units at one or more California community colleges.</p>

<p>But this semester, 9 units at a CC while enrolled in 11 SJSU units; would that be considered full time at a CC for a whole year if he enrolls in a CC next semester?</p>

<p>I’ve never heard anything about having to be a full-time CC student.</p>

<p>That’s what the admissions officer from UCLA told me when she visited my school. Hopefully she’s wrong.</p>

<p>I believe the “full time” rule only applies to UC Davis and it was for TAG. Even though it’s a requirement, if you have a good reason for not being full time then they let it slide. This was my case.</p>

<p>Here is something from UCSD’s website:</p>

<p>"You must be a California community college student. Do you meet the definition?</p>

<pre><code>You have been enrolled at one or more CCCs for at least 2 regular terms (excludes summer sessions)
You have completed at least 30 semester (45 quarter) UC-transferable units at a CCC
You are attending a CCC as your last college before UC San Diego admission (excludes summer sessions)"
</code></pre>

<p>I’m not sure if it varies from school to school.</p>

<p>Any updates on the transfer process? I’m currently at a 4 year oos considering moving back to attend cc then transfer to an in state school. Can someone confirm you don’t have to be full time? I did 3 years cc already and 1 quarter oos so I realistically only need 1 or two classes a semester</p>
