<p>I have just started my application. </p>
<p>So I ran into this:</p>
<p>How many college/university units do you plan to complete before you enroll at UC?</p>
<p>Fewer than 60 semester/90 quarter units (sophomore transfer)
6089 semester/90134 quarter units (junior transfer)
90 semester/135 quarter units or more (senior transfer)</p>
<p>If I'm having around 100 quarter units, regarded as a senior, will that hurt my chance ????</p>
<p>wait but by having 100 quarter units, it says youre regarded as a junior. maybe i dont get your question??
UCs dont take senior transfers, so yeah itll hurt your chances, lol.</p>
<p>I can’t believe that just because I’m a senior UCLA, UCSD, UCSC are all closed for my level…This is heartbroken knowing that I cannot even apply to them.</p>
<p>I’m just really confused. Before it is said I can take as many units as I want in community college, and now they are saying I’m taking too much???I’m not expecting to transfer all the units, they can take as many as they want. I care less about that. I never knew I would be in such trouble taking too many classes…!</p>
<p>Ok, I think I found the answer:</p>
<p>If your coursework is exclusively from a California community college, apply as a junior. UC limits community college unit credit to a maximum of 70 semester (105 quarter) units, but grants subject credit for coursework beyond that.</p>
<p>dude yeah, youre fine if every single unit youve taken has come from a community college. you could have like 34543 units and theyd only take 90 of them. you CANT be a senior transfer from a cc, its just not possible.</p>
<p>is that your dilemma??? or am i still not understanding the question?</p>
<p>or theyd only taken 105 units, not 90, as what your last post stated.</p>
<p>I just emailed the admission office regarding my situation which is somewhat complicated. </p>
<p>I’ve only been to a California community college in the States. And I’m going to have a little over 100 semester units by the time of next Spring. But I took a few classes like 5 years ago in a Canadian community college when I was in Canada. And I actually went to a 4-year-university like 10 years ago in another country as well, I completed many units, but I never received any degree of any kind. And my major back then has nothing to do with what I’m studying now. </p>
<p>Am I still a junior transfer??</p>
<p>I think you’re still acceptable as junior year transfer. Wait for the admission office to respond to your e-mail though.</p>
<p>sorry, in my first post, I meant to say I will have 100 semester units instead of quarter units.</p>
<p>@Oliver… I really hope so. Because I do want to apply to UCLA AND SD.</p>
<p>oh…SEMESTER units. well, yeah, that changes things somewhat lol. deffs just wait for them to reply back</p>
<p>I transferred with 180+ quarter units (all from CCCs) and I was just fine (like they said, they will only accept 105 of them for unit credit, but you will receive subject credit for everything else over 105).</p>
<p>However, the hangup you may have, OP, is that you have units from a four-year university. How your status is handled will depend how many of those units you acquired and how many of those are UC transferable. This will vary UC to UC. Make sure that you report all of your previous coursework and obtain transcripts from all of those past schools. I hope you receive good news.</p>
<p>@Kender. Thanks for your reply. </p>
<p>I did go to a 4-yr-college, but it was 10 yrs ago and it was in a foreign country. I was majoring in Japanese back then. The classes I took were very different from what we have here in the States, so none of them will be UC transferable, actually none of them will be transferable to anywhere at all. I am majoring in Engineering now. I am not expecting to receive any credit from those old classes, because they are truly irrelevant and insignificant in many ways.</p>
<p>The length of time since you took the courses does not matter. They are still a part of your record and you must include them whether they are transferable or not. If you do not include these and it ever comes to light later, not only could your admission be revoked, but any degree you may have already earned at any point later down the road could be revoked as well.</p>
<p>Also, do you know for sure these classes are not transferable? Have you heard this information directly from the admissions office or a UC counselor?</p>
<p>Hi Kender,</p>
<p>Of course I am reporting everything. I have already reported everything in my TAG. I’m not hiding anything. When I input all the old courses on my TAG application, it indicates that they are all none transferable classes.</p>
<p>That is because the system only recognizes courses that have been pre-approved (for example: CCC courses). Since all my units were from a CCC, all the transferable units were already pre-approved. Classes that are not already in the system will be looked at on a case by case basis.</p>
<p>Unless you have been told by an admissions officer or UC counselor that these courses do in fact not transfer, then there is always a possibility that they will. The system not recognizing them is a moot point.</p>
<p>I am not trying to be mean or discourage you. I am just stating that there is this possibility of a hiccup and if it were me, then I would be already talking to someone of higher authority to gain final word on the transferability status of those previous courses. I would also seek such confirmation in writing. Peace of mind and all that sort of nonsense, you know?</p>
<p>It’s your prerogative what you choose to do. I do hope it turns out that these courses are negligible and will not affect your transfer eligibility.</p>
<p>^ this is true. I had classes that weren’t labeled transferable by the application system but they were all transferred over after i got in.</p>
<p>You will still be regarded as junior transfer, just units after 90 semester units will not be counted towards graduation, but they will count as subject credit (so you can still get into upper division courses and what not). Or something like that</p>
<p>It’s unrealistic for someone in, for example, an Engineering major to NOT have an insane amount of units after completing IGETC and having most prereqs completed. </p>
<p>Just post back the response you get from your email for everyone to see so we can get this settled.</p>
<p>@Kender. Hi, I didn’t think you had been mean at all. How could you say that! :))))) I feel the total opposite!!!You’ve been very nice and helpful! </p>
<p>And I’m still waiting for the reply from the school. I do not care much about transferring classes. All i want to clarify is if I am a junior transfer. I now tend to think, they may regard you as a junior transfer as long as you don’t have a BA/BS degree. Well, hopefully they reply soon.</p>
<p>@Anonymousity. I know that excessive units from cc is okay. However, I went to a 4-yr-college before in another country, I did not earn a degree.</p>
