<p>I wanna take a community college math course while attending a UC. Is this allowed?</p>

<p>I was curious about that as well. I asked an advisor at UCSB and was told I would need to petition. I’m guessing it is the same at all the UC’s, call to make sure.</p>
<p>Graduate schools are very suspicious of students who are enrolled in a four year college or university taking difficult required classes such as Math at a community college rather than the four year institution they are enrolled at. Rightly or wrongly they suspect you may be trying to evade a difficult class at your four year school by taking a less rigorous version of it at a CC.</p>
<p>@lematire1 what if we just can’t afford the expensive tuition? lol</p>
<p>I don’t understand, if your attending a UC full time then you pay a fixed tuition whether you have 12 units or 20 units, why wouldn’t you just take the class at the UC since it costs you nothing?</p>
<p>It’s allowed if you ask UC counselor. I took Art history 4B and Hist 4B at Foothill and I had a lot of UCSD and UCI students in my classes. It just helps to speed up getting your general ed done</p>
<p>You don’t save a single cent by taking classes at a CC as mentioned before, you pay more.</p>
<p>I transferred to UCI. In the last two years I took 100 quarter units during the year. That’s about 17 per quarter. I’d have paid the same amount if I had only taken 72 units.</p>
