Provisional contract says I need 90 units, I have 89...

Transfer Students

<p>My provisional contract at UCSD states that I need 90 units:</p>

<p>Complete at least 60 semester or 90 quarter UC transferable units by the end of Spring term 2007 with
an overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.50.
• Remain in good academic standing in your last regular term with at least a 2.00 GPA.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I was not able to get all the classes that I wanted for Spring 07, so I had to select a 4 unit class instead of a 5 unit class. Now I only have 89 units, and I am afraid of getting rescinded. Based on your experiences or the stories that you have heard, will I get rescinded?</p>

<p>I'm sorry to say Yes! Your admission will get rescinded. You must finish at least 60 semester/90 quarter units to get in as Junior Transfer.</p>

<p>Maybe you should call/email them right away. If you are lucky, they might let you take a summer class.</p>

<p>they will really rescind for one unit? what is the difference btween a 4 and 5 unit class anyway?</p>

<p>Credit Hours, its all in the credit hours. the difference between a 4 and 5 unit class is all in the long run. for example technically speaking you are getting more factored into your gpa for a 5 unit class that you get an A in than a 4 unit class, because you are getting more hours in terms of exposure to the material.</p>

<p>you're getting rescinded fo sho</p>

<p>It doesn't matter if there's a big difference between a 4 unit and 5 units class. No one is going to change or bend the college policies specifically for you.</p>

<p>I agree entirely with everyone. You shud have taken ceramics or chinchilla breeding class. You also failed by not asking us before Spring 07, but waiting until the end of it.</p>

<p>well maybe not at a public university. I find private schools are way more forgiving of everything from rape (Yale) to plagiarism (Harvard).</p>

<p>Public universities receive government funding. If they mess up procedure, their funding could be revoked. That is why public universities follow rules by the book.</p>

<p>Private make most of their money off students, so they could careless if you are missing a unit. If they see potential in you, they want to invest in you.</p>

<p>Ugh...I am taking two summer school classes at UCLA, but I don't know if they might give me some leeway here. I am one unit off -- I switched the Accounting class to an Upper div Econ class.</p>

<p>Just email them and tell them the situation. See if you can get into a class (ridiculous I know) like some bowling or random class. If you let the teacher know of your situation they might help you out.</p>
