<p>Hi everyone quick question. I've been reading about the CSU 70 unit cap which it says </p>
<p>"Only 70 units from a community college can be applied to the total units toward a degree. If you take a community college course past the 70-unit limit, the class can meet a course requirement and will become part of your cumulative GPA, but no additional units will be earned toward the minimum number of units required to graduate."</p>
<p>I don't understand, so if I have like 75 units (which is 5 excess units, I need 135 to grad), the grade from that 5 unit counts towards my GPA but it won't satisfy a class requirement so instead of having 60 units left to grad, I'll still have 65?</p>
<p>-Thanks</p>
<p>I had the same interpretation as you, but I wasn’t confused. I’m pretty sure all this means is that they’ll count 70 units max if it all transfers and your 5 credit class will still count towards your GPA but not be applied to your degree. So you’ll be at 70 assuming all your credits transfer. You’ll need 65 to graduate, yes. </p>
<p>Like for me, I will have 90 units by the end of this semester. They’ll apply 20 units worth of classes somewhere, but I still have to earn the rest as if I had never took 20 extra units.</p>
<p>They’re basically saying that your community college GPA is going to cross over. I think that part actually kind of sucks, although you do get a “Cal Poly GPA” that is at 0 when you get there, which I think will just be a reflection of your upper-division work that some graduate schools take into account. The bigger question I think is which one do you use for employers…</p>
