<p>i have a few questions</p>

<li><p>i am considering taking summer school at UCI or a community college close to my house. i am a chemical engineering major and will be taking GEs during the summer (i think). does it matter if i take it at a university or a cc? im thinking that i’ll get better grades if i do it at a cc</p></li>
<li><p>should i take GEs for summer school or take classes that are required for my major? </p></li>
<li><p>i am thinking about taking 2 classes over the summer. how many do people usually take?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>thanks so much!</p>

<li><p>Grades at a CC does not transfer towards your GPA. Search on assist.org if you prospective course is transferable to UCLA. If not, go to Boelter Hall 6426 to garner a Course Equivalency Form.</p></li>
<li><p>Up to you, depends on how busy you want your schedule to be. Don't take more than 3 major courses outside though.</p></li>
<li><p>2 is the average for a session. You can take more if you want to catch up or get ahead. I had 3 though, and it was 9-5 no break. :(</p></li>

<p>do you recommend a variety of classes? for ex, a GE and a science class? or is 2 math/sci class decent?</p>

<p>It's up to you, dawritingmachine. I'm assuming you'll have taken care of Math 3C, LS 1, Chem 14A, and Chem 14B at least before this year ends. I think it makes more sense for you to knock out an "easy" GE with a science class or a writing II class even during the summer. Are you going to do both sessions? I'm OOS too and so summer school costs roughly the same as an in-state quarter.</p>

<p>so lets say that i take courses at UCI and dont like the grades that i received. do those have to be calculated into my GPA? can i not transfer them over</p>

<p>You grades will follow you around for the rest of your life. Say you apply to graduate school - you will have to submit your grades from all previous institutions. You can't pick and choose which courses you transfer over. I don't know how it works from UC to UC. I think with CCC's you report that you're attending another institution (or not) during the summer or whatever on their application and then submit your transcript from the CCC to UCLA.</p>

<p>i think i'm gonna only do session A. are there any main differences btwn classes offered for each session??</p>

<p>i'm thinking:
chem 14BL or an LS and a GE, either music 15 or art hist 57</p>

<p>i can't decide...</p>

<p>Dude, you can change your classes between now and the end of June (and later than that even). :rolleyes:</p>

9

<p>so that means no need to worry about classes being taken for summer session A?</p>

10

<p>It means, dwm, to chill out.</p>

11

<p>when can we start looking at what classes will be offered in the summer and stuff? ( and who will be teaching them, of course ;] )</p>

12

<p>i forget exactly when. definitely sometime before end of spring quarter. :p</p>

13

<p>mmm it says registration begins feb 1 =o
Calendar-2008</a> current</p>

<p>that's pretty soon</p>

14

<p>at uci, session 1 is 5 weeks. if i take 2 classes, will that feel kinda like taking 4 classes? compared to our 10 week quarters here</p>

<p>im also thinking about doing session 2...which is summer school for the entire summer. possibility of getting burned out? haha i know this should be something that i answer myself..</p>
