<p>Considering that most students who transfer to UC’s come from community college with 60+ credits, you will have little to NO chance transferring with just 20 units.</p>
<p>All CCC students will be considered before you, it is manditory. You have a much better chance at a CCC to UC transfer. I believe the UCs are not accepting lower division (less than 60 unit) transfers. You need to get up to speed on the particulars fast and decide. Whoever convinced you that CCCs are a “no no” is the idiot. CCC is the absolute best second chance route to a UC, including Cal and UCLA.</p>
<p>Not to put a too harsh point on it, but I knew several honor students from a local CCC who mocked students from CSU Chico (partly because of its party rep, partly because they knew a nob grad from Chico who volunteered at the CCC who was annoying, rude and literally could barely read or write but seemed unaware of this major lack). </p>
<p>While these CCC honor students were “stuck” at this “no no” CCC college for an extremely wide range of reasons, they were also all extremely motivated students who excelled at CCC and had specific transfer goals in sight. One is at UCBerkeley, another went to Santa Clara University and is now at a top-10 grad school for his major, etc etc. I have met countless CCC honor students who have ended up at Stanford, Georgetown (for grad school), UCLA, Berkeley, Santa Clara University, Mills College, Cal Poly, private LACs on the east coast, etc. The reality is if a student at a CCC can get a 3.8+, try to distinguish himself or herself with some ECs, that a whole range of high quality colleges will accept him or her as a transfer student. No need to stick it out at a CSU when a CCC is cheaper and in most cases a better place for transferring – especially for UC transferring, staying at a CSU is shooting the self in the foot because one will have lower transfer priority.</p>
<p>@annikasorrensen That is exactly why I wanna transfer out of here.</p>
<p>It doesn’t seem like the school for me.</p>
<p>And for the other people commenting here, I’ve been asking around and looking on other forums and people say UC Santa Cruz , UC Merced, and Riverside are pretty good for CSU transfers. Idk why you guys are giving such a negative answer for me. I just wanna go to a better school and closer to home that’s all :(</p>
<p>Transfers must have fewer than 20 semester units from a 4 year when combining them with CC units. This information is also referring to TAG which you won’t be eligible for unless you transfer to a CC. </p>
<p>Since you are planning on staying at Chico then just apply for transfer at the beginning of your soph year and try and find out which classes you can take that will fulfill UCSC’s pre-reqs for your major. You will still need to complete 60 units prior to transfer as far as I know.</p>
<p>So how can I find out which classes are transferable? i would like to start taking them right now. And where does it say 20 semesters combined with cc units?</p>
