Hello!
I am currently a junior at UC Santa Cruz, I transferred from my local community college fall 2019. Unfortunately, UCSC was not the school for me, I got crazy homesick, and something happened back at home that requires me to come back for the next school year.

I decided to reapply to transfer to a school closer to home as a senior for the next school year: 2020-2021. Many said it was impossible to get in as I’d be an incoming senior, however, I got in.

I have been trying to communicate with many admission counselors, but due to the COVID- 19 I have not yet to received answers to my questions.
I am not sure if any of you know this, but my advisor at UCSC informed me that every school has a limit on how many units one can transfer over. Do any of you know what it is? I have about 61 units from a community college which is a total of 91 in a UC. I will have 45 units from UCSC. My total units combined are 136.

Do you know if this will affect me later within admission? will all of my units transfer over?

HIGH-UNIT LIMITS AND ADMISSION POLICY BY CAMPUS
After applying the UC lower division maximum transfer credit limitation policy which includes CC credits (70 semester/90 quarter units) all upper division and all UC units are added to the total unit count.

For Riverside: 90 semester/135 quarter units or more;
Dean’s Review required

I would contact UCR to see how many units actually transferred over. Since you were accepted, I would assume the majority did transfer and you were admitted after a Dean’s review.

Are you mixing semester and quarter units? If you’re at 91 semester you might be able to get in. I’m assuming the 61 is semester as you would not have had enough units if they were quarter to transfer.
