<p>do i have to transfer the units to UCLA?</p>
<p>You don’t “have” to, unless you want them counted towards college requirements, GEs, and/or major preparation/requirements at UCLA. You also might benefit from a boost to your class standing.</p>
<p>so how do we make it so we DO NOT transfer CC units to UCLA? It is because I want to take physics at a cc as an intro into UCLA physics and if the grade comes out bad I dont want it to hurt me. I have never taken physics in high school. Anyways, thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Why don’t you just buy the book early and read it?</p>
<p>Classes taken at community colleges won’t be factored into your UCLA GPA; assuming that you get a “C,” you’ll receive the same unit and subject credit as someone with an “A” but no GPA points. </p>
<p>If your major requires that you take physics, however, you might have to show them an actual grade. Maybe. My suggestion, in such a situation, would be to shop around CC schedules looking for a decent instructor then take the course to get a feel for it. If you’re really worried about your grade, you can drop it before the drop deadline or withdraw after it. Withdraw deadlines are pretty late at CCs, and even if you withdraw, at least you’ll have some experience with it.</p>
<p>Another option you might look into is auditing a class, either at UCLA or at CC. You essentially take the class but without getting a grade for it. Then, in a subsequent quarter (or CC summer session), you can take the course for real.</p>
<p>The only reason I ask is because I’m scared of going over the unit max. I came in with a lot of college credits (not AP or IB credits), so I don’t want to deal with the hassle of petitioning to go over.</p>
<p>I think that I will have the same problem! lol</p>
