<p>Would UC's accept prereqs at different CC's
Example: Taking Physics 1 at primary CC and Taking Physics 2 at another CC?
Thankss!!</p>
<p>Check assist.org to see if the courses articulate separately or must be completed in a sequence. </p>
<p>Yes, not a problem at all. I’m taking my prereqs at a handful of CC’s. As long as they match the prereqs on Assist.org and you double checked with your counselor, you’re all good. :)</p>
<p>Thanks!
What if the units are different? Example: PCC physics is worth 5 units while Elac physics is worth 4 units </p>
<p>As long as those classes match the classes accepted at the UC’s you are applying to, the unit count has no relevance. Meaning, the UC has agreed to accept that unit count. But again, just double check with Assist and your counselor that those classes match the prereq classes at the UC you wish to attend.</p>
<p>Do be careful about prereqs at different schools. If Assist lists them as a sequence, then they MUST be completed at the same school for them to count. Those classes are grouped together in a block on the Assist website. If you take them at different schools, you will not receive prereq credit for all of them.</p>
<p>Hmm. I would double check that. I have taken major prereqs at two different CC’s that were in the same block, and the UCLA and CC rep both said the classes were fine. They know they were taken at two different CC’s. Maybe it depends on the major? Interesting.</p>
<p>Yes.
There is no problem with taking them at different CCs as long as they are in sequence. If you could not take them at separate colleges it would create gridlock.</p>
<p>It is good to finish a sequence, if possible, all in semester units if transferring to a quarter system or there could be issues with how they recalculate credit.</p>
<p>If there were an issue of sequencing being at only one school it would be for some off the wall serues, and the info should be apparent on assist.</p>
<p>Some of the UCs specified in assist for my major that specific sequences (physics and chemistry and organic chemistry) needed to be taken in full at the same CC. (Not all the sequences, but the courses within each sequence) </p>
<p>I guess that might make sense for some STEM majors? Would be nice to have a list of specific courses, or majors that require this. I know for sure courses in these areas do not have to be taken at the same CC, if it helps: English, Poli Sci., History, Art, Sociology, Archaeology, Psychology, Languages. </p>
<p>My general chem (1 yr) and organic chem (1yr) sequences and my calculus based physics sequence (1.5yr) all had to have each course in a sequence from the same school. Because otherwise if I took general chemistry I at one school and general chemistry II at another they may either overlap on material or leave some out if the two schools had the topics covered in different order. This is mostly science classes as far as I know. Didn’t apply to any of my math courses, those topics are a bit more standardized across
The board I think. </p>
<p>thx for info @bear87</p>
<p>BTW, for what it’s worth, i,was just looking at majors for D2 and it noted for one the physics series, it needed to be taken at same CC - or one within the same district. </p>
<p>Where was this note? Been trying to find some valid catalogs or anything suggesting what series needs to be taken at same school. Do you have a link you could share? Thanks. :)</p>
<p>Well, this was kind of arbitrary. I was on assist.org, checking UCLA and CC for computer science major. I was looking there as linguistics and computer science major didn’t show up. In results, look at physics. </p>
<p>Assist.org in the actual transfer agreements. Example for physics: <a href=“http://web1.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=MESA&ria=UCLA&ia=MESA&oia=UCLA&aay=13-14&ay=14-15&dora=CHEM+ENG”>http://web1.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=MESA&ria=UCLA&ia=MESA&oia=UCLA&aay=13-14&ay=14-15&dora=CHEM+ENG</a></p>
<p>I see it now, but the rest of the sentence says you can take them in the same district, does not have to be same CC. Again, it’s all about compatibility. Double check with the schools applied too. It should really never be a problem, especially if the CC is in the same district. Just speak to your counselor about it. I really think a bigger deal is being made of it here than necessary.</p>
<p>Quote from Assist on Physics, and only in one series:“You should complete the entire Physics Series at one community college (or at community colleges within the same district where courses are exact equivalents).”</p>
<p>It would seem that if they have different unit values they would not be exact equivalents to one another. In my district each school offers the sequence, but the classes are exactly the same: same name, same number of units, same Catalog name. </p>
<p>Yes, @bear87, I read that too, that everything has to be exactly the same so they know there is no overlap. It’s interesting because a lot of this probably explains why some ppl with strong GPAs don’t get admitted to their major. Between AP credit losses, and issues like this ppl can fall below the 60 units or miss requirements.</p>
<p>@lindyk8 yes. I think often when a student with a great GPA gets declined or someone who tagged didn’t get in it’s due to issues like this. Many students who go to multiple cc’s loose a lot of credits they think they have, between partial/mixed sequences and cc’s requiring re-takes that will put you out of sequence. </p>
