<p>I'm trying to plan out classes for next year and I was wondering whether non-UC unit credit counts towards the 180 unit requirement? So, in otherwords, does the 180 units have to be UC?</p>
<p>Hi I'm sorry to hijack your thread ckings86 but I did not want to create a new thread. </p>
<p>Question: Is it true that Murphy Hall doesn't care if you go over 216 units (whatever the number is) as long as you graduate in 4 years plus 1 summer?</p>
<p>the 180 units can be AP credit, summer classes somewhere else, credits you bring in as a junior transfer, basically anything ucla gives you credit for.</p>
<p>thanks mikemac! that makes me happy b/c that means i definitely only need to take 3 classes per quarter for the next four qtrs in order to graduate... thank goodness. </p>
<p>emmeline, its cool that hijacked my thread. i don't mind. and i believe 226 units is max.</p>
<p>I'm retaking a 4-unit class, so those 8 units are counted as well???or they just count as 4 units?</p>

ckings86, not so fast! I just wanted to point out that not ALL of the 180 units have to be taken at ucla. However, there are other requirements you must meet :(<br>
3 in particular that may apply to you:[ul]minimum progress -- the number of units you must take each quarter. See <a href="http://www.college.ucla.edu/up/counseling/regulations/exprog.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.college.ucla.edu/up/counseling/regulations/exprog.htm</a>
[<em>]The number of units that will be accepted from a community college is capped. I don't know if they count AP as part of this.
[</em>]You need to take 60 upper-division units at ucla to graduate. See <a href="http://www.college.ucla.edu/up/counseling/regulations/upperdivunit.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.college.ucla.edu/up/counseling/regulations/upperdivunit.htm</a> [/ul]I apologize if I've misled you. Given your circumstances I think its important for you to sit down with a counselor or advisor in your major and make sure what you plan satisfies all the requirements. One tip; if you come <em>close</em> on something deans have the authority to waive requirements.</p>
<p>Okay..</p>
<p>UCLA has a six year maximum. Basically no matter how many units you've successfully passed, they kick you out at that point.</p>
<p>Also, if you have APs or college credit from high school, your GPA required for graduation is adjusted upwards equal to the number of units you enter with.</p>
<p>they'll tell you all this at orientation. just wait a couple months.</p>
