<p>Hi all, I have this situation where I will have completed over 90 quarter units by Winter 2010 at my cc; I'd like to know if it will hurt my chances if I have a leave of absence during Spring 2010. I will apply for Fall 2010 for admission into UCs; mostly Berkeley, LA, UCSD and UCD. Also I'm an international student. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>if you’re not gonna go to spring because you have the units necessary, you should totally take some classes because it’s gonna show that you were lazy about things. My last class before transferring to UCLA this fall was during winter session - I skipped spring and summer classes because I had to work (since i don’t get financial aid) and help out my family in ways that i could not if i attended school. I wrote that in my personal statement, i think.</p>
<p>I would advice you to take some classes, not difficult ones and stuff, to show that you’re still going to school even though you have enough units. :D</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that if all of your units are from a California CC you can go over 90 semester units. I’m not, however, sure about units from other CC’s (that is, not in Cali.).
What I AM sure of is that if you have any units from a 4-year institution you should definitely NOT take a single class that would put you over 90 units. I know for sure that UCLA and UCSD will not accept if you if you have over 90 units with some of them from a 4-year, in fact I know from experience as I was rejected from UCSD for having 94 units. As for UCD and UCI I believe they do accept senior transfers.
So instead of taking the advice above, call or visit the UC’s you’re interested in to make sure taking courses this spring won’t put you in senior standing. I’m sure they would understand that you’re not being “lazy,” but that you instead fully understand their unit caps.</p>
<p>i transferred with 105 units, the cap. um, but definitely call the schools :D</p>
<p>All my units are from cc. I am just tired of taking classes that I don’t need (and don’t learn very much). Also, I thought it would be a good idea to save some funds before i transfer.</p>
