<p>i was also trying to take classes but for some reason the counselor at my jc said that if i took classes at a jc the summer before enrolling into a UC it will look like im a transfer student. i would have to have all the trannsfer credits in order to go to the UC. she said i can start taking classes after my first year at davis. i dont know if this is true, but thats what the counselor said.</p>
<p>Freshman students are allowed to enroll in courses the summer after they graduate high school and before they enroll at a UC campus. However, if you will be taking a year off and wish to apply for fall 2008, for example, if you enroll at any college or university during a normal academic term; fall, winter, or spring; you are a transfer student and must meet the transfer requirements. Just make sure these are summer courses and not a short fall term and that the courses are UC transferable through <a href="http://assist.org%5B/url%5D">http://assist.org</a> as mentioned by collegemom16.</p>
<p>Taking college level courses after your freshman year in high school, okay. Taking courses at a different college after you freshman year at a college or university should be okay. You just want to work with an adviser to make sure the courses are transferable and are equivalent to the courses you need to complete. For the UC system, the <a href="http://assist.org%5B/url%5D">http://assist.org</a> will tell you which courses are UC transferable and the equivalent courses.</p>
