<p>Before the overhaul in website-design, the UCSC transfer admissions site used to say that a maximum of two classes could be taken over the summer if they are needed to complete the 60-unit minimum for transfer. I checked the website last night & noticed that was taken down. I tried emailing admissions but the person who responded didn't seem to know what I was talking about. I don't think she knew that was even on the website.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If taking a class over the summer is no longer allowed, then that really sucks. I really don't think I could push it anymore next semester & I would hate to have to stay another year here (again) because I needed 3-6 units & I highly doubt they'll be accepting applications for the winter quarter since they didn't this year.</p>
<p>I didn't notice any change regarding this on other UC sites, but I've only seen this option on UCSC's because it's the only one I've researched an entire lot.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>UCSC will not be accepting Summer units to fill the 60 unit requirement (new rule that has been established). I know it sucks a lot, but it is true. You’ll have to bite the bullet and take a lot of units in Spring or wait another year. I am taking 20 units this semester. It’s tough but worth it.</p>
<p>What kind of summer courses they don’t accept? The first summer after freshman year, the summer immediately prior to transferring or both? I heard they don’t only accept courses in your last summer before transfer, but still, you can use previous summer(s) course work :D</p>
<p>They of course will accept previous Summer school, that is no problem, but the Summer prior to transferring they won’t accept units. I’m pretty sure that this is screwing over a lot of people who were relying on the Summer semester to fit in those last couple of credits to make the 60 count. 
I’ve talked to a lot of UCSC reps and counselors - they have made it clear that if you don’t complete all of your IGETC and the 60 units requirement by Spring, they won’t consider you. (Maybe a few exceptions here and there, but doubtful)</p>
<p>This isn’t exactly a new rule its been going for a few years as budget cuts mean less people get in, they want to make sure the people they are accepting will actually have completed the minimum of 60.</p>
