Unit cap for UC quarter system

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I just finished my first year at UCR and I wanted to transfer to UCI, UCSB, UCSD, UCLA or UCB) I was wondering about the minimum 90 quarter unit and 135 unit cap for all UC's.(or 120 for some?? not sure where I saw it) </p>

<p>I currently have 72.5 units after my freshman year at UCR
24 units from AP (8 chinese, 4 english comp, 4 bio)
4.5 units from Community College
44 units from UCR</p>

<p>I was wondering if the 90 units includes the units from AP and/or from CC</p>

<p>I am afraid to go over the unit cap (if it's 120), so I took a 14 unit quarter last quarter & I was wondering if I should just keep going with 14 unit quarters. The avg units statistics for admitted transfer students from other UC's is also around 104-ish, so I was also wondering if too many units is a bad thing? </p>

<p>I am a Business Administration student & my GPA is 3.84 & I was also wondering how big of a chance I have at transferring to the schools. (I'll probably change to Business Econ if I need to) </p>

<p>Thank you!~</p>

<p>Be sure you have all the prereqs done… I’m not sure about AP units counting but CC do count for sure.</p>

<p>AP units count only if you want them to.</p>

<p>You’ll be fine. The 120 quarter unit cap for UC students is 120 units from four year universities only (so your credits from UCR). I had 118 credits from UCSC, 20 from APs, 32 from CC and I was accepted as a UC-UC transfer to all those universities except UCLA’s business econ.</p>

<p>Depending on your EC’s and how strong they are, I think you will do pretty well for transferring. You will most likely get into UCSD, UCI, UCSB easily as long as you complete their pre-reqs (or at least most of them). As for UCLA/UCB, it’s always a tough call. </p>

<p>Make sure your pre-reqs for UCLA match EXACTLY what they ask for. People have had issues with their business econ major because some accounting courses don’t match their requirements or they don’t evaluate your UC classes correctly. Also you might want to apply to Berkeley as econ because they rarely accept non-CC students for Business Admin at Haas (about ~2 students).</p>

<p>Actually, each UC has different policies on the unit cap. UCLA’s policy, for instance is that so long as you have fewer than 86 semester units from a 4-year, you can have however many community college units as you like. However, UCSD sets a hard cap at 90 semester units total, if any have been taken courses at a 4-year.</p>

<p>I had a question regarding Unit cap.
What happens if a course is repeated; ie if I get a D and repeat it and get a good grade. Will the repeat classes be added to the unit count or omitted?</p>
