Transfering college credits? (Incoming Freshman)

<p>I've taken 4 college classes in the last 2 years (3 at a CSU, 1 at a CC). I'm currently taking 2 more at a CSU and plan on taking 2 this summer at a CC. </p>

<p>How do you find out if these courses transfer or not? Or what they transfer as (as in .. do they fulfill GEs or do you just get credit or..)? </p>

<p>Also - is this a smart thing to do? I've heard it saves money, but I don't want to waste time taking classes if I don't know if they even transfer. :&lt;/p>

<p>You can try checking on <a href="http://www.assist.org/web-assist/welcome.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.assist.org/web-assist/welcome.html&lt;/a> to see what transfers. However, you can also talk to the counseling department at your CC to see what they say.</p>

<p>Oh and I almost forgot, if you're close enough to campus, you could make an appointment with a counselor on campus to find out. And yet another option, attend an early Orientation session b/c the OCs will be able to find out what transfers as well.</p>

<p>I heard from someone at UCLA that transfer credits from a CC don't transfer points towards your GPA at UCLA, which might hurt your GPA. Not sure if it's 100% true though.</p>

<p>i just went to see a councellor about this today. When you transfer GE's from semester system to quarter system, you will sometimes end up with 4.5 units for a GE (on the UCLA DPR). UCLA will round this value up .5 for three classes ONLY. (btw, most GEs are 5 units) So if you take courses at other semester system colleges over the summer, make sure you plan accordingly.</p>
