UC Riverside 2015 Transfer Thread

My daughter still has no decision yet. She applied to business and has IGETC completed after this spring and a GPA of 3.93. I guess since she did not have tag they are just randomly reviewing the applications.

@StrummerNamedJoe I was in a similar position. I completed IGETC, completed the prerequisites for my major, and have over 60 UC transferable units. I ended up just e-mailing my admissions counselor about the question and got a reply back within a day or so. She said it was fine for me to drop the classes. I would highly recommend e-mailing the school though because every case may be different. I would just ask/inform them so that they will not be surprised about the dropped classes when they review your final transcript over the summer.

@sg0108

Thanks for the reply. I’ve emailed them but I imagine they’re pretty busy this time of year and they haven’t gotten back to me yet.

Still curious if anyone else has had a similar situation.

@StrummerNamedJoe‌ the 90 unit limit is just that, a unit limit, it means you can’t transfer more than 90 units towards a bachelor’s degree. You will, however, transfer 100% of the credit for completing the course, so you won’t have to retake them.

@StrummerNamedJoe‌ Sorry to double post, but I forgot to add that I got accepted and I have completed over 115 units. This is what I was told by a UCR counselor. Having over 90 units doesn’t matter, unless if you want those units to apply toward your degree, in which you have to get the dean’s approval

@p0o912‌

My question was more about whether my admission would be rescinded if I did not complete those extra classes as they are not needed for transfer.

@StrummerNamedJoe‌ call the admissions office, that’s the only way you can be sure

@imagnetismi‌ Thanks a lot!! :smile:

Still pending here too! Ugh… this is getting beyond frustrating. If history holds true and two tabs means I’m getting rejected, I would really like to know already! Either leave my tabs alone or let me know my status within a reasonable amount of time. Enough with these head games! (Sorry… I needed to vent!)

Alright guys, I’ve heard back from UCSB and UCSC; I’ve been denied to UCSB, but accpeted into UCSC. I’m happy I got accepted, but I’m still holding out for UCR!

@NewSocio Congrats! Which major did you apply to for UCSC? Soc? I’m still waiting to hear… (I applied to Soc for UCR and Feminist Studies for UCSC).

Sent in paperwork for financial aid about 3 weeks ago but still haven’t been notified of an award. Has anyone submitted paperwork and heard back already (how long did it take) ?

@starkali Ya, I applied for Sociology! I’m really happy that I actually have someplace to go now, but I really want to get into UCR!

@kristyalene I submitted paper work recently and I still haven’t been notified of an award. You can try calling UCR’s financial aid office and they will direct you to your financial aid advisor. I actually just called but my financial aid advisor was out for lunch.

@sg0108 hey. I am also in a similar situation you were in. Unfortunately, I had to drop a class with a W, but my provision specifically indicated that I pass that class with a C or better. I have already emailed UCR admissions, updated my TAU, and left two voicemails when I called my admittance councilor. I am freaking out right now because I don’t want my admission to be rescinded. So out of curiosity, were the classes you dropped IGETC or required courses for your major? Thanks in advance

@Funsizee08 If that class specifically had to be passed with a C or better as noted in Provisional, I assume it’s IGETC or major prep, etc. If you withdrew, there is a very good possibility your admission will be rescinded. There is the small possibiity they will let you make it up in summer. Make sure you have a very good reason for the drop.

I just called and they said decisions will be finalized at the end of the month
