Question about transferrable units.

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I'm at UCSC right now and I'm trying to transfer to UC Davis. Most of the classes here at UCSC are worth 5 units but the equivalent courses at UC Davis are worth only 4 units. When my application is reviewed, will the adcoms count my transferrable courses as having 5 units or 4 units? If they count them as 4 units (in terms of UC Davis' courses), then I'm screwed because that would make me fall below the 90 unit minimum. :( </p>

<p>Also, some of my classes have associated labs which are an additional 1 unit. For example, my Physics class here is worth 5 units for the lecture and 1 unit for the lab (I get a lab grade that is separate from the lecture). Again, would Davis count the 1 unit for the lab towards my total units? I think Davis' 4 unit Physics class includes the lab (correct me if I'm wrong), so there's no additional units being given to the lab by Davis.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help! I'm just freaked out that I thought of this possible anomaly so late into the admissions process. :(</p>

<p>They will count them as 5.units</p>

<p>What about the extra lab section I mentioned? Will I get an extra 1 unit for that even though Davis’ Physics classes have their labs embedded into their lecture courses? (Santa Cruz has separate lectures and lab classes with separate grades for each. Lecture = 5 units and Lab = 1 unit.) Thanks again!</p>

<p>Well, it’s not like they are going to ignore the lab. Everything will transfer. The only problem I can see Is that you will have less classes completed and more units. You’ll have less room to take electives.</p>

<p>I’m okay with having more units and less classes. AFAIK, Davis doesn’t have a unit cap on their seniors. So I’m assuming that my lab will be calculated into my GPA as well even though its a separate course that isn’t offered separately AT davis, right? That was the main point of my question haha, sorry for not making it clearer before.</p>
