<p>Hi im currently attending a community college but I really need to tranfer UCSB to the college of letters and science im what are the steps to tranfer to UCSB within a year? What classes shoul I take ?</p>
<p>University of California has detailed requirements for in-state transfers. You need to meet them with precision.</p>
<p>See for example:</p>
<p>[University</a> of California - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer.html)</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>[University</a> of California - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer/tr_adm_reqs.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer/tr_adm_reqs.html)</p>
<p>Typically students transfer from CC to UC as juniors. If there is anything special about your background you would do well to contact the admissions office at UCSB directly. While you may get general guidance on this forum, the UC system has detailed rules and exceptions are rare.</p>
<p>you need to get 60 units and be considered a junior.
However if you want to start the UCSB experience earlier, then you should consider enrolling at SBCC. You can live where UCSB students live after their frosh year, take part in campus activities, and even take a class a quarter at UCSB while still a SBCC student. See my post in the UCSB forum a while back for more discussion.</p>
<p>Transfer in a year to a UC? Unless you already have enough units it isn’t even possible. There is no such thing as a transferring sophomore. You can only transfer as a junior whether you are ready or not and still have to take lower undergrad (sophomoric) prereq’s.</p>
<p>You can transfer as a sophomore, but you need to be an athlete, musician, etc. but unless you have any of those unique qualities, then you </p>
<p>need 1. 60 semester or 90 quarter units (including ap), to apply</p>
<p>and it would be beneificial to you if you complete igetc, but if you are a science major then its best to complete your science courses first</p>
<p>its possible and happens a lot, not that hard if you are on task</p>
<p>You can not in any way shape or form officially transfer as a sophomore. You are either considered an entering freshman or are a transfer student. You can apply after 30 semester (45 quarter) units for a TAG Agreement. At that time one could do concurrent enrollment but that doesn’t qualify as official admission to a UC still.
UCSB College of Science and Letters prefers students that have a solid year of US History and loves if you have a year or at least a class of Western Civ. Of course the more math, chem, and bio you have the better which UCSB is picky about. It really depends on your major on what you need and if not stated no one will be able to properly assist you. It would be extremely difficult and rarely ever happens that a person will be able to complete IGETC and/or prereq’s in a year.
Your best bet is to complete your last year at SBCC. If you have your English and Math requirements completed and at least a 3.0(or 3.5?) you can join SBCC’s Transfer Academy. You first have to at least have taken 12 units at SBCC or thru the Pipeline and then pay the $25 Transfer Academy membership fee. Then while you are in the process of transferring can take up to half your concurrent UCSB classes while paying CCSB tuition costs.</p>
<p>kmazza: You’re totally wrong dude. You can transfer from a community college after a year (I know friend who did this too). Its called lower division transferring. You basically need to have a 4.0 and be in really good standing - start prereqs (and even with a 4.0, you’re chances of getting in are slim). You don’t need 60 units either but I do believe you need a year of transferable English courses. Check out ucstatfinder for the stats of these lower division applicants.</p>
<p>And I know another person who indeed graduated high school attended a cc for a year (completed IGETC, 60 units and most prereqs) and transferred to UCI. However he began in high school taking classes and did summer session plus his final semester there he overloaded with like 22 units or something like that. Its not that rare but it is difficult to do.</p>
<p>But to answer the question, if you haven’t taken any summer classes or started in high school it doesn’t look like its gonna happen.</p>
<p>PS. We can’t tell you what classes you need to take until we know you’re major. But IGETC classes are never harmful so I guess you can start there…</p>
<p>I have yet to meet anyone who has completed 60 units in a year. It is true you don’t need all your prereqs but still need to be near completion of core major requirements and GE/IGETC before a UC will even look at you. Now some CSU’s allow concurrent enrollment/transfer in progress with as low as 35 units if you have the golden 5 completed but competition for seats has reduced that in the past few years. The practice is very uncommon unless one completed all their math, english, history, bio, chem, and physics requirements as part of their K-12/14 curriculum in California.</p>
<p>I think you need A LOT of AP units to make it possible. I came into college with 32 (quarter) units and stacked up on classes, but still wasn’t able to meet junior standing, let alone finish all my preqs.</p>
<p>Hi, well my CC major is bioloy and I want to major in cell and developmental biology at UCSB. I already have 12 units what classes or what else can I do to transfer out as a lower division???</p>
<p>You basically need to be in excellent standing such as all A’s and all of your classes have to be transferable (prereqs and IGETC). If you fall under this category, talk to UCSB in regards to lower division transferring. Don’t bother talking to CC counselors as they probably won’t know…</p>
<p>Again, lower division applicants are super, super competitive and even with a 4.0 its a long shot… G’luck dude…</p>
<p>The classes you should be taking are as follows:
- 1 year of general chemistry (2 semesters usually)
- 1 1/2 years of biology and biochemistry (3 semesters usually)
- 1 year of organic chemistry (2 semesters usually)
- Single variable calculus (2 semesters usually)
- Stats (1 semester) or linear algebra and differential equations (2 semesters)
- 1 year of introductory physics (not calculus based - 2 semesters)</p>
<p>All this info was found using assist.org</p>
<p>That is 60 units right there not even counting GE requirements. Good luck doing that in a year, you’ll need it.</p>
<p>I feel pretty confident saying that that schedule would be mentally impossible in one year. I mean he/she could try to complete as many of those classes as possible and apply this year as a lower division transfer… But yes, he/she will need the g’luck…</p>
<p>…and be a deranged sadist to attempt in the first place, but hey to each their own</p>
<p>Touche …</p>
