<p>I am currently a senior in high school and will be enrolling into santa cruz this fall. I was wondering if I could take a college course this summer to get some of my GEs completed. I've already taken English 1A last summer (between 11th and 12th grade), and would like to continue onto English 1B this summer (both these classes are transferable). My counselor said to make sure I talk to UC Santa Cruz about this before taking enrolling.</p>
<p>Has anyone done this, and is there a danger in doing this? My counselor was saying that they may rescind my application and tell me to finish all 60 units at a CC before going to ucsc.</p>
<p>Yes, there is a danger. I also know someone who took too many classes at a CC, and was considered a transfer student as a result. I don’t know where the cut-off point is, sorry.</p>
<p>Take all the college courses you want. There is no possible way for them to rescind your admission if you sent in your SIR. The SIR is your guaranteed spot into the Fall 09’ class, as promised by UCSC. They can’t take back their word and give you Fall 2011 since it’ll be approximately that long for you to get 60 units.</p>
<p>Response to Liesel, no I’m sure there isn’t a danger. You get a status, for example my friend went to Berkeley and completed so many courses/pre-req. during high school that my friend received junior status. Still enrolled into the campus at the acceptance date, just didn’t have to do GE and went straight to major upper-class work.</p>
<p>Only two classes (8 units), I don’t think will hurt. Thanks guys for the feedback, I’ll definitely call ucsc tommorrow and get the approval.</p>
<p>Is there a problem if I take a college course that is based on an AP test, such as political science and AP Government?</p>
<p>Did you call them? I’m interested in taking a class over the summer at a CC as well…</p>
<p>I read somewhere that community college courses taken the summer after senior year of high school will not affect admission, if I can find the link I’ll post it. </p>
<p>Also, I submitted a SIR to UCSC and although they do state that admission is not guaranteed, but rather dependent on a list of provisions, an absence of community college from this point forward was not one of them. </p>
<p>I’m under the impression that students with existing college credits must list the credits on their application is because the UC system wants to prevent students from performing poorly in college, and getting a fresh start, preventing someone from having a first chance.</p>
<p>You should definitely call, they have great customer service, but I think it’s highly unlikely that they’ll rescind your offer of admission, although I’m not so sure about transferring the credits.</p>
<p>I don’t think it would hurt you. Call admissions to make sure. Also, remember to use assist.org</p>
