<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I have a question about transferring from a 4-year university to UCLA. I am currently a freshman, and I want to transfer to UCLA as a junior. For next year, I was thinking of enrolling in a California Community College (I'm from Cali) and then transferring to UCLA because I know that UCLA gives preference to ccc transfers. My question is, will I still get that preference if I only do one year at the community college and use the credits from my freshman year at my university to fill half of the credits? </p>

<p>If not, would there be an alternative for me to basically re-do my classes at the Community College so that I had two years worth of work from the community college, and thus a better chance at UCLA? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You need to be enrolled in CCC for one full academic year (not including summer term) to be considered as CCC transfer; so your plan will work.</p>

<p>There is no need to repeat courses. Ask the CCC to evaluate your coursework and see if any courses can be used to satisfy the general education requirements. UCs do their own evaluation when your application is reviewed. Occasionally the UCs will disagree with the CCC evaluation, so make sure you have a few more units for buffer in case your 4-year college courses don’t transfer.</p>

<p>Thank you so much, that was incredibly helpful. More than the people I talked to at the community colleges. Now I just have to get accepted…</p>
