<p>SOOOOO</p>
<p>I have an interesting little problem :)</p>
<p>By the end of the spring semester, I will have 81 units, and they say that they normally don't accept transfer with ove r80 units
HOWEVER
1 of those units is a P/F freshman seminar from a 4 year university
would this not count? Because I know that can't be transferred over</p>
<p>Does this mean i'm automatically exempt? :(</p>
<p>I hope not i'm working so hard to get into here and a lot of other good schools.</p>
<p>BTW–
the first 50 units of my college career are from two 4 year institutions
soo
i’m not sure how that affects the whole unit cap thing.</p>
<p>i’m so frustrated >:O</p>
<p>Not sure which college at Berkley you are applying to, as some have different unit caps.</p>
<p>UCB: Each of the individual colleges and the Haas School of Business establishes its own unit limitation policies for students who have attended a four-year institution before enrolling at a community college:
College of Letters and Science: A student who has accumulated more than 80 transferable semester units from a four-year institution is considered to have excess units and will not be admitted. A student who has completed 80 or fewer UC-transferable semester units at a four-year university and then transfers to a community college will not accrue excess units and will be considered for admission.
Students who have only attended a community college will be granted subject credit, but not unit credit, for appropriate two-year college coursework taken in excess of the community college 70-unit limit; such subject credit may be used to satisfy/complete requirements.
College of Environmental Design: This college follows the same unit accumulation policy as the College of Letters and Science (see above), except that its limit on transferable coursework taken at a four-year university is 86 semester units.
Other colleges: UC Berkeley’s other colleges total both university units and a maximum of 70 community college UC-transferable units. The limits on combined transferable university and community college work are as follows:
• College of Chemistry: 80 semester units; applicants with more than 80 units require special approval.
• College of Engineering: 89 semester units.
• College of Natural Resources: 90 semester units. Though the College does not have a specific unit limitation, it carefully reviews applicants with 90 or more
10
semester units to ensure that they can graduate within a reasonable time.
• Haas School of Business: No maximum limit.</p>
<p>L&S :-\ 10 char</p>
<p>OH WAIT!! That mean sI’m still eligible! I think…
I keep misreading it haha
so just t omake sure, if i didn’t get more than 80 units at a 4 yr college (which i got 50, not 80) then went to community (like i am now) it’s ok?! and there’s no cap?</p>
<p>yes you’re fine. i had ~30 units from UCSB and took 50+ units at CCC before transferring to L&S at berkeley.</p>
<p>that’s semester units though right? If it’s transfer to quarters it’ll be more correct?</p>
<p>Yes, we’re still eligible!</p>
<p><- had 50 units abroad</p>
<p>oh thanks. and do you know if your AP credits/units from high school count towards the unit cap too?</p>
<p>no, AP credits don’t count towards the unit cap. There’s another unit cap thread right now, read that.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley is pretty unclear about this. I think they do that on purpose to discourage Senior-ish transfers. Just make sure your latest units were from CCC! :)</p>
