<p>I found out today that Riverside Community College refuses to certify students who have over 35 semester units from any 4-year university or collection of 4-year universities. This INCLUDES units you take when you are not a matriculated student (ie, during the summer, concurrent enrollment, etc.). I was told by the counselors, the articulations officer and the evaluations office that this was because I am technically a junior or some such, and they can't do the certification for me. </p>
<p>I am working through this (talking to my admissions representative because my Conditions of Admission include "IGETC certification" -- yikes), but I wanted to let everyone else who is a UC-transfer hopeful know what's going on. Know your school's regulations! BE CAREFUL!</p>
<p>I am strongly considering that option, but I'm trying to see what my admissions officer says before I do. Lucky for me, it's viable because I'm a spring admit.</p>
<p>Yeah, shop around if you have to. Don't let some minor technicality throw a wrench in your whole plan. You may not even need IGETC if you meet the standard breadth requirements, or are a few courses away from them.</p>
<p>I know. I'm definitely not giving in without a long fight!</p>
<p>The post was more as a warning to other CC students to be aware of their school's policies; this was a complete shock to me, and it's more than a little annoying (means I don't have my GEs done, or it means I have to go to another CC (pay more!) for some frivolous classes so I can get them to do it, etc.).</p>
<p>Final comment on MY situation, and a bump to remind people to keep on top of their college's policies: my admissions counselor at Berkeley told me I satisfy the L&S breadth anyway, so I'm home free. Hooray!</p>
