<p>I was just wondering how UCs determine how many units a transfer applies with; will they count your fall quarter only? Or both fall and winter? Also, do the number of units students have matter that much when it comes to getting accepted or not?</p>
<p>You will list your classes for spring too, so it is everything up to spring. Summer does not count.</p>
<p>You definitely need 60 units minimum. If you are coming from a community college, then you can have as many as you want. Taking more units than necessary won’t help you though- just get your prereqs and GE done. Only take more units if you need to raise your GPA. There is a lot of talk about how if you did some time at a 4 year you will have a unit ceiling, but the policy varies from campus to campus and for 2014, I believe, the UC system is getting rid of any unit camp as long as your last semester was at a CCC. Regardless, for now it seems like they only will apply a unit cap if you did a ton of units at a 4 year (like, more than 60 or 80), and even then, it seems like a case by case, school by school scenario.</p>
<p>If you are transferring directly from a 4 year you will have a unit cap of 80 (I believe,…it could be 90) units because you are only allowed to transfer in as a Junior. You still must have 60 units minimum.</p>
<p>Well I am currently at a UC right now, so in my case… will I still list up until spring quarter? or just winter?</p>
<p>you have to list everything. You HAVE to tell them what classes you are taking this fall (as well as the grades), and you are required to list your planned classes for winter and spring too.</p>
<p>Yeah, list everything–including planned. You can change it later if you need to. Make sure you hit at least 60 semester units (or 90 quarter units). Having a few extra CAN help: Berkeley is letting me transfer 70 units, I believe, which means I can take it easy my first semester without falling behind. It’s certainly not required, though. Just 60 units.</p>
