unit caps

<p>

I wouldn’t be transferring till 2011, taking the summer classes 2010, so I would be a visitor.</p>

<p>gah this is so confusing, why have the 80 unit cap if only 70 transfer anyway?

Ah sorry I misread that. </p>

<p>Here is UC Berkeley’s explanation

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.
