<p>I was talking to my counselor and he told me that the maximum number of units the UCs take is 70. I have like 85. So he said that I still have to take x amount of units at the UC in order to graduate.</p>
<p>My question - is it really gonna take 2 years to finish school or that's just an estimate?</p>
<p>It could take more than 10 years in some cases. But usually it takes less than 10 years as far as I know.</p>
<p>Depends on your pace. Most do it in 2 years. Some 1, some 3.</p>
<p>Completely depends on the major and school.</p>
<p>Most liberal arts take between 1.5 to 2 years.</p>
<p>Hard sciences & engineers take about 2 to 3 years.</p>
<p>im a psychology major</p>
<p>also, does that include summer and winter sessions or just fall and spring?</p>
<p>I think that estimate includes fall, winter, spring. I think fall, winter, and spring are required for a full-time student. Correct me if I am wrong.</p>
<p>The UCs only count 70 towards graduation, but every uc transferable class you took, and passed with a c or higher, will grant you course credit. That being said, with one major it should take you around two years to graduate, granted you go full time every quarter. Double majors might have to stay longer.</p>
<p>The average apparently is 2.9 years. This just means that 90% of transfers take 3 years but a small 10% actually do get done in 2 years.</p>
<p>“The average apparently is 2.9 years.”</p>
<p>Where did you get that number from?</p>
<p>It really depends in each person’s case how everything pans out. But most people I know graduated in 2 years.</p>
<p>Not sure if this is true for all UCs or if it’s true for non humanities, but at UCSB you can ONLY take 6 quarters of classes not including summer. You either graduate on time or you don’t. But after 6 you are done unless you have a damn good excuse. But the dean was very clear that most petitions for extensions aren’t granted. So yes, you can graduate in 2 years and are often required too.</p>

^And how do you know this is true, just from getting the mean?</p>
<p>“^And how do you know this is true, just from getting the mean?”</p>
<p>Well because, you know, we’re all experts in statistics.</p>
<p>Did you know that 93.745% of all statistics are made up? THAT’S CRAZYYY.</p>
<p>But really, “Fifty-two percent of community college transfers graduate in two years and 86 percent in four years.” (taken from 2006 but published in 2009)</p>
<p>I’m sure I read the other 2.9 number correctly in some other place but I really can’t remember where. I seem to have this very good memory at remembering certain things very easily while totally forgetting others. The 90 to 10 ratio was a generalization. Obviously things never smooth out this perfectly.</p>
<p>It’s not about how long it takes. It’s all about the number of credits you’ll need. If they take “up to 70” credits, those extra 15 credits are useless. You’ll need XX number of credits to graduate, which generally equals two years worth. You can take those courses during the summer sessions, or winter intersession.</p>
<p>my sister transfered to ucsd last winter (econ major), and she is graduating in June this year.</p>
<p>At Berkeley, you’re given 2 years to graduate unless you get an approval from the dean for an extra semester (which is extremely rare). If you don’t finish your required courses and units, you’re kicked out without a degree.</p>
<p>At UCLA there’s a unit cap, but i’m not sure if there’s a time cap. If you’re on a grant though, i hear that you stop getting funding after 2 full years (like the blue and gold grant.) i should really look into this, because if it ends up being true, i guess i’ll have to take summer classes -___-</p>
<p>lol theres no such thing as time limits. thats bs. however if you get financial aid, you wont get anymore after the two years. people need to not make stuff up about people getting kicked out of school for not graduating on time, that is ridiculous! If you look up the stats only 50% of college grads graduate within 4 years. I know someone who has been in college for 6 years!!!</p>
