Transfer confusion

[CatalinaIslander]

<p>Hello again, everyone. </p>

<p>I have a couple questions about transferring to USC. As I've posted before, I attended UCLA for 2 quarters and will be completing a semester (or two, possibly taking summer classes) at community college before hopefully enrolling at USC next fall if admitted. </p>

<p>So first of all, I'm confused about how many units I have. On the UCLA website, it says that I have "52 total units" but if I count the individual units of my classes, I only have 28. I don't know which to use to convert to semester hours, and besides that, on the USC website, it simply says "if you have less than 30 units", so I'm not sure if they're talking units in general or specifically semester units. Color me confused. </p>

<p>Secondly, I looked at the articulation agreement between UCLA and USC and found that only one of my classes fulfills a USC core requirement. Three of them are considered "courses that transfer for credit". The other two are not listed anywhere. </p>

<p>What does that mean exactly? Will I get elective credit for the classes that "transfer for credit", and are the other two classes still at least considered part of the units I've accumulated? </p>

<p>Thanks for any info.</p>

<p>Catalina, this particular forum is mostly visited by freshman applicants and some old-timers/current or past students etc whose experience is with that process. Perhaps you should try posting this question on the USC Transfer thread here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/1520682-official-usc-2014-transfer-thread.html?highlight=usc+transfer[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/1520682-official-usc-2014-transfer-thread.html?highlight=usc+transfer&lt;/a&gt; You may also get a lot of help doing a search on last year’s thread. </p>

<p>Also, please don’t hesitate to call USC’s admission office and speak with a transfer counselor for specific guidance.</p>
