<p>Ok... In high school I took Spanish for 3 years and got an "A"
in each class (spanish 1,2,3)</p>
<p>Now I just submitted my application to the UC's, and it looks like
I only have 55 transferrable units.... Would me taking the spanish
class in high school, also give me 5 extra units towards transfer??</p>
<p>Anyone? lol</p>
<p>Nope, not at all.</p>
<p>Unless you took AP Spanish and scored high on the AP exam with an AP score that would possibly transfer over to some UC’s depending on their AP score policy.</p>
<p>oh well nvm</p>
<p>So does that mean I’ll have to take it (to get the 5 extra units), even though I don’t “need” to. Cause I know if you took it in high school, you don’t need to take it again.</p>
<p>Well what did you score on the AP exam? I doubt it would get you 5 units anyways.</p>
<p>You need 60 transferable units to be eligible to transfer to a UC…so your best bet is to sign up for more classes that will fill up that extra 5 units…and since you already submitted your app maybe you should call all the campuses or whatever to get those 5 units added. </p>
<p>I dont know refer to a second opinion I guess.</p>
<p>Buuump…</p>
<p>To repeat my question:
I know UC’s don’t require you to take Spanish again if you already took 2 or 3 years
of it with a C or better. Does that mean they give you 5 units towards transferring??</p>
<p>Help! LOL</p>
<p>someone already answered ur question so iono y ur asking it again. the answer is NO! why would they give u any units?</p>
<p>He said “refer to a second opinion” so that’s what I’m doing.</p>
<p>But thats fine, this just means I’m gonna have to contact the schools, and take 1 more class this spring <em>bummer</em></p>
<p>I hope you enjoy your time at Riverside</p>
<p>^^^ I don’t get it ^^</p>

<p>Who told you that? A counselor at my CC told me that there is a way to obtain high school credits FOR your IGETC (thereby increasing your unit count), by submitting a petition form to your CC’s IGETC/Counseling department. </p>
<p>This would make it so that you wouldn’t have to take certain classes (like Spanish) at the CC if you’ve already taken them in high school.</p>
<p>RyanGetzlaf, I think you should be fine–I have the same situation; I took 4 years of Spanish in high school and don’t plan on taking it at my CC.</p>
<p>OH great!</p>
<p>thx a lot, I’ll have to meet with my counselor this week!</p>
<p>You need to check with a counselor about this. Please make sure you understand the difference between subject credit and unit credit, however.</p>
<p>Just because you are able to opt out of a subject area on IGETC does not mean that you can reduce your unit count by that much. I.E.: I took Bio in High School and my CC offers a bio class that is three units so therefore I can deduct 3 units from my 6o unit minimum. That’s not necessarily how it works. Please check with a counselor about this type of technical stuff you are not sure about.</p>
<p>Usually unless you took AP courses, you can probably only get SUBJECT credit for taking spanish in HS. Meaning you won’t need to take a spanish class in CC but still need to get to 60 units. </p>
<p>BUT: Your best bet is to talk to a counselor at your school that is familiar with IGETC to get a good answer to this question!!</p>
<p>If after talking to a counselor you determine that you need to make changes to your UC app, please see this page: <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/afterapply.html[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/afterapply.html</a></p>
<p>Thx alot “usdenick”</p>
<p>I spoke to my counselor this morning, and yes it turns out
I only received subject credit not unit credit.</p>
<p>Oh well. Looks like one more class next semester.</p>
