<p>I am at moorpark college now just came here this year with 50 units at other 4 year institutions that are out of state. Ihave residency here so that's not an issue.</p>
<p>HOWEVER...</p>
<p>If I have more than 70 units what are they going to do if I apply to places lke UCLA or UCberkeley?</p>
<p>Also I have no clue what i wanna major in! Am I screwed?</p>
<p>Sorry...also...do you think a 3.6 is good enough to get into either one?</p>
<p>Depends on the colleges within the UC</p>

<p>I think if all your units are from community colleges you’re okay. </p>
<p>Every UC has their own unit caps though, but again if the units are from a 2 year college you’re fine.</p>
<p>He has OOS units, larinaga.</p>
<p>Yeah I went to Univ. Miami and Tulane before this! Lol.
So only this semester and the next are community :-
The UC admissions dept is wacked though I think their req’s are pretty harsh for a state school system! But le’ts hope I can get in?</p>
<p>How’d you go to both U Miami and Tulane?
UC’s accept junior applicants.</p>
<p>you need 30 semester hours at a CCC to be considered a Californian applicant (gives you admission % benefits - 30% instate 20% out of state)
and your last CC attended before transferring has to be done at a CCC.</p>
<p>Those unit caps also depend on the major. I have 68 of units from a college, but they are mostly computer science classes. Now I’m a bio major. Only 3 of those old units count towards my new major. That allows me to get around one of their restrictions. I’ll also have another 105 from California community colleges. Most of those won’t transfer on my UC transcript, but they’ll allow me to get into higher classes within my major…if I remember right, I should be able to take about twice as many upper division classes than the minimum requirements demand…actually, I don’t really have a choice, but this is actually how I want it. I may even be able to take some graduate level classes, at least I hope I’ll be able to do that instead of being forced to take other upper division elective classes that don’t interest me.</p>
<p>Leaftye: </p>
<p>If your community college units dont transfer, they do not count toward your major either. They have to be transferable units. You just do not get numerical credit for units past 105, you get subject credit. 105 quarter units, meaning 70 semester units. Really what you are saying is not possible, community colleges ONLY offer lower division courses, once you transfer, no matter what major you have, you will have plenty of upper division courses to take within that major to satisfy major requirements, there really is not THAT much room for electives. …except for maybe a few courses.</p>
<p>Additioanally unit caps are not major related, they are university set. If you go to a 4 year and have senior standing and try to transfer they will reject you, regardless of what major you apply under.</p>
<p>Eh, I don’t think I explained myself well. Still though, you did a good job of explaining things.</p>
<p>so only 70 semester units count, all other class gets their units cut, but it still shows that you took the class, and it works for pre-req</p>
<p>upper that is correct in regards to community college units</p>
<p>units from 4 years transfer on a case by case basis</p>
<p>what happens if you transfer in 81 units? i heard they won’t accept you if you have more than 80 units…so I HAVE to take 30 units at CC but i have 50 units now so i’d have 80 by the end of this year (but there was one class at tulane that was a P/F seminar for all freshman – 1 credit – would you think this would count? It didn’t transfer to Umiami)</p>
<p>You need to contact the university directly to see if that would count.</p>
