My educated guess is that the courses at UC-Berkeley would pack a lot more content into those 6 to 9 classes.
Courses that are not CSU transferable should not count. But some courses may be CSU transferable but not count as any subject credit usable to you.
Since you needed a minimum of 60 units for junior transfer, the most headroom you could have had within the 140 unit limit is 80 units, instead of the 70 units of headroom you actually have.
ProfessorPlum168, that would makes sense.
ucbalumnus, right, all my classes were CSU transferable, but THIS particular school (CSUN) doesn’t accept them. For example, I took a basic programming class. It was CSU transferable (as my CC stated). But if I look at the articulation agreement for the computer science major at CSUN, they wouldn’t have accepted the class.
Yikes. I wouldn’t have had a lot of room anyways then. Too bad I don’t have any interest in double majoring. I’ll just have to suffer forgoing those classes then.
You may want to find out if the 140 unit limit at CSUN limits the number of units you can take as you approach 140 units, or is only applied after you reach 140 units.
I.e. if you have 139 units, will you be limited to taking the courses needed to graduate as soon as possible (since any course would put you at 140 or more), or could you take a full semester unrestricted by this policy (e.g. 15 units that could bring you to 154 units) before being allowed to take only the courses needed to graduate as soon as possible?
CSUN is not the only California public university that has a unit limit, although various campuses implement such things differently.
