<p>Twist, you may not want to comment on things you don’t know about. I went to the UCSB orientation when I still planned to attend there, and they went over everything in detail. 6 quarters and your gone. Pretty sure it has to do with the budget crisis. If you understand the cost to the school and state for each student it makes a lot of sense. Check your facts before you comment.</p>
<p>I think the UCs give freshmen admits as much time as they need to finish their degree programs but but transfers admitted as juniors must finish all their degree requirements and graduate within two years of transfer at which time their enrollment will be terminated unless rarely given permission to stay longer from the Dean is given. I understand UC Berkeley is particularly strict about this. This is a major reason why you should finish all of your GE requirements and prerequisites for your major before you transfer from CC. You are not going to have enough time to take a lot of lower division courses as well as your upper division requirements needed to graduate before your enrollment is terminated by the university.</p>
<p>so are you saying that double majoring and studying abroad options can’t be done for transfer students?..lol</p>
<p>You can double major. You just need the lower division units done before you transfer likely. Most majors (humanity that is) are 40 quarter upper division units. That gives you 10 to spare, but leaves you no extra wiggle room. Studying abroad is possible to. It depends on what your transfer with. You can transfer with 105 quarter units. That means you only need 75 to graduate. That’s nothing for 6 quarters. Plus you can always take summer course. Pretty simple math…</p>
<p>It’s very possible to graduate in a year even if you take summer courses before the fall that you transfer or take them after your first spring quarter. If you can’t graduate in 2 years, you are screwing something up.</p>
<p>I didn’t check this for every school or every dept. but on UCI’s website, they say flat out how long you have
Example
"Students who enter UCI as junior transfers from other institutions are expected to complete all degree requirements within 3 years (9 quarters, not including summers). This includes completion of any minors or additional (double) majors. "
Just check the other schools’ websites, perhaps they say?</p>
<p>@catfoodjar …so if i transfer from my cc with 105 quarter units i only need 75 when i transfer??? what?? I thought it doesnt matter how many units you transfer with, you still have to complete 90 units once you go to the UC. CC’s dont offer upper division classes… so does that mean if i transfer with 20000 units …i don’t have to transfer at all?..lol…just give me my degree LOL …its not a matter of knowing “simple math”…</p>
<p>It is actually. CCs don’t offer upper divs your right. But o graduate you only need a certain number of upper divs. Usually between 40-52. That means you have extra units to spare. Transfer with 105. Need 180 to graduate. Only need let’s say 52 upper divs. 180-105=75. 75-52=23. Take 23 non unit major or complete any lower div requirements your cc didn’t offer. Congratulations! You graduated college. If thats not simple math, you should consider dropping out of college :-)</p>
<p>Are you sure of that? Don’t we HAVE to take 90 units once we transfer?</p>
<p>No. You have to complete the graduation requirements. They allow 70 semester or 105 quarter units to transfer and apply towards graduation. I believe your last 40 (not sure on the exact number) have to be at the school you intend to graduate from, but they definitely do not require you to take 90 units and cost the state and school thousands of wasted dollars.</p>
<p>^ ah okay that makes sense then. but still… i think the rule that you have to graduate in 2 years or you get kicked out is kind of harsh.</p>
<p>I know at UCSD you can stay much longer than 2 years. Hell I got in last year and to graduate with a BSEE I had 146 units of major classes and GE units to complete. To graduate in THREE years it would be 4 science/engineering classes a quarter every quarter + GE’s, in fact even with all the pre-reqs complete the transfer plan for EE is spread out over 3 years. In fact here is the guide. <a href=“http://www.ece.ucsd.edu/sites/ece.ucsd.edu/files/ece/assets/docs/ece_4yearplan_10_11_Transfers.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ece.ucsd.edu/sites/ece.ucsd.edu/files/ece/assets/docs/ece_4yearplan_10_11_Transfers.pdf</a> </p>
<p>Cliffs: it completely depends on your major. Most BA’s should be easily in and out in 2, BS’s not so much.</p>
<p>Through all of the stuff I’ve researched, the only school I’ve heard that limits the number of units or number of quarters for its students is UCSB.</p>

<p>I guess it depends on your major. for Cal I applied for a major that only has 36 units required, so I can definitely complete everything required within a 2 year span, probably even if I added a 2nd major at that. </p>
<p>When I visited Davis their engineering/science majors have waaay more units than many of the liberal arts majors, so things like that factor into how long it’d take.</p>
<p>You can check how many units you need to take for your specific major on the school’s website and judge for yourself based on how many classes you would be taking.</p>
