question about uc to cc to uc

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Hi, I am currently attending UCR. But I want to go to a different UC (UCSD or UCI). If I go back to CC this following year which is summer 2010. Am I still considered as CCC applicant or applicant from interstate campus transfer? And also, Am I eligible for TAG? I called UCI few days earlier and they said no but, UCSD told me that I can do tag... It's very confusing...</p>

<p>I’ve been in the same predicament as you.</p>

<p>The schools don’t seem to consistently deem (on paper) what a ‘California Community College’ student is. </p>

<p>From what I gather, former UC students can enroll at a CC and technically become a CCC student if they meet certain requirements. For example, UCSD deems a CC student as:</p>

<ul>
<li>Be enrolled at 1 or more CCCs for at least 2 terms, excluding summer sessions</li>
<li>Attend a CCC as the last college before being admitted to UCSD</li>
<li>Complete at least 30 semester UC-transferable units (45 quarter units)</li>
</ul>

<p>If I recall UCI explicitly excludes former UC students from that definition, yet becoming a CCC student makes no mention of any former institution. I have a feeling they mean people coming directly from a UC without having attended the CC. </p>

<p>TAG restrictions and requirements are totally different from the CCC student definition and may be more strict, like excluding former UC students.</p>

<p>you can do tag with UCSD. I went to UCSB for a year and then went to CCC for another year and got into UCLA , Berkeley, UCSD, and USC with no problem. All your units from UCR will be transferable. I was also able to do tag with UCSD but i think you should be fine for TAG with UCI. According to their website:</p>

<p>"A student who is TAG eligible:

  • has completed the first transferable English composition course;
  • has completed the first transferable math course;
  • does not have a degree from a four-year college/university;
  • does not have any foreign/international coursework;
  • does not have any coursework from a four-year college/university (exception: coursework completed at
    a UC and the applicant left the UC in good standing    );"</p>
