Regarding UCLA and "Units Limit"

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Does anyone know if the following description is still accurate?</p>

<p>"UCLA: With the exception of the School of Nursing (postlicensure), UCLA generally considers a student who has accumulated more than 86 transferable semester units (130 transferable quarter units) at a university to have exceeded maximum units allowable for admission. Such a student will not be admitted. For the College of Letters and Science, a student who completed 86 or fewer UC-transferable semester units (130 or fewer transferable quarter units) at a university then transferred to, and remained exclusively at, a community college does not exceed the maximum units allowable for admission purposes."</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yup, the UCs are working on updating the Transfer Q&A to make the information easier to understand, but the information contained in the current version (which is floating around) should still be good.</p>

<p>Thank you very much, Ms. Sun. Hopefully UCLA doesn’t adopt a stance similar to that of UCSC, UCSD, et cetera…</p>

<p>Just making sure as this has a pretty big impact on my transfer plans. </p>

<p>I earned 60 semester units (90 quarter units) at a four-year university before entering a CCC. Does this mean that I’m automatically rejected at UCLA?</p>

<p>“For the College of Letters and Science, a student who completed 86 or fewer UC-transferable semester units (130 or fewer transferable quarter units) at a university then transferred to, and remained exclusively at, a community college does not exceed the maximum units allowable for admission purposes.”</p>

<p>My interpretation of that sentence is that you will be fine, RightingTheShip.</p>

<p>By the way, here is a somewhat updated link to that paragraph.</p>

<p>That is from Spring of 2010. The paragraph is on page 15.</p>
