too many credits

<p>i know that there are circumstances where you can have too many transferable units that you become a senior or something, and lose all of the advantages during admissions that you have transferring to a UC as a junior from a ccc. My question is whether you can receive that standing from only taking classes at a community college, or if you have to have taken some classes from a 4-year school. Thanks.</p>

<p>"The University will award graduation credit for up to 70 semester (105 quarter) units of transferable coursework from a community college, meaning those units will be counted toward completion of your degree. Courses in excess of 70 semester (105 quarter) units will not receive unit credit but will receive subject credit and may be used to satisfy University subject requirements.</p>

<p>Some campuses also limit the total number of transfer units that will be accepted. If your community college work is combined with credit from a four-year institution, different unit limits may apply. Please consult the Admissions Office at the UC campus that interests you."</p>

<p>If you have taken any courses outside a community college and exceed 80 semester units your screwed,</p>

<p>only if you have taken other creidts from a 4 year school ...if CCC it's doesn't matter how many units u have.</p>

<p>so...i'm trying to transfer form a UC and will have 130-140 quarter units by fall 08. so about 40 of my units won't count, even though they are pre reqs and classes required for the major?</p>

<p>thanks. I've only taken classes from my community college, but i was worried because i will have around 110-120 quarter units when i transfer. If some of them aren't transferrable i'm not going to sweat it, just wanted to make sure i didn't lose priority admission and all that.</p>

<p>Guyy,</p>

<p>That would put you in senior standing, and could make you ineligible for transfer. Each University/college handles it a different way. Check out this document, page 10 for specifics:</p>

<p>If you are accepted, then even if you don't get "number credit", you'll get subject credit for all transferable classes.</p>

<p>^i dunno bc that would really suck. </p>

<p>i am assuming quarter units</p>

<p>Strangely in 2007, the average units for people accepted into bioengineering at UCLA was 142 (133 for applicants) and majors like econ and anthro have around 105(around 105 for applicants). Although 142 units, may sound like a lot, material science admits have an average of 172 units, with an applicant average of 151!!</p>

<p>judging from my data, it seems like for the school of engineering, the more units you have, the better.</p>

<p>You engineers do everything different! (;</p>

<p>haha i'll take that as a compliment.</p>
