<p>I have to complete 4 classes for my lower division requirements in my major (Chemistry at UCSD), which are organic chemistry 1 and 2 along with two calculus classes, but I've heard that UC's will impose a unit limitation/timeline and require me to graduate within a set amount of time. So, let's say that I have one year's worth of classes to take at the lower division level, and 2 years of upper division to do afterwards, will I be able to do this without UCSD saying that I have to graduate or potentially not allowing me to graduate at all? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it :)</p>
<p>LandSpeed.. are you the pirate guy on SDN?</p>
<p>Anyways, you should be ok. I think UCSD gives you time to complete lower division requirements that you haven't finished.</p>
<p>The limitation they impose on you is not something you should worry about. You just have to make satisfactory progress toward your degree- meaning completing x amount of units every quarter. You are not limited to graduating in two years after transfer. I dont know what the exact limit is , i just know that few people will be impacted by it.</p>
<p>HI suwaifo, yeah, I'm that pirate guy on SDN :) Nice catch! I can't believe someone recognized me... but yeah, thanks for the comments. I'm really hoping that UCSD is going to be flexible with me about these classes I need to take. It seems a little questionable if they admit me through a TAG and then deny my planned coursework/graduation date. I really hope that you guys are right. I'm calling UCSD bright and early tomorrow to get the final word... I'll post what I find out on here when I get the details.</p>
<p>My friend went to UCSD for biochem, she had to do all of the physics and all of the chemistry there - she got in with a TAG- it is taking her a bit more than 3 years to graduate with summers</p>
<p>A bit more than 3 years after transfer? That's why I have been recently considering Berkeley instead of SD. I think after transferring into Berkeley for MCB, you would only need 2 years to graduate. Then you could do MCAT in the first year and then AMCAS in the following summer.</p>
<p>well it took her more than 3 becuase she had a whole year of physics and she only took 3 classes at a time at most and she failed a few here and there as well - different prioraties - she has a family and was an adult student. </p>
<p>I went to UCLA so the unit limit at ucla was 216 quarter units in which you must graduate, even if you double major that is the max (for all schools but engineering, they have more leeway)</p>
<p>UCSD being in the UC system will have a unit max in that same vacinity. The minimum needed to graduate for UCSD i believe is 180 quarter units, even with all major requirements and all major prep that you transfer in you will still have some electives to take to reach that number, and remember you need 60 upper div - most majors do not have 60 units of upper div work so elective time</p>
<p>So I talked with an admissions officer @ UCSD today, and learned that there isn't a time limit/unit maximum for transfers. They said that I can basically take as long as I need to finish my degree, provided that I'm enrolled in enough units per quarter. This is good news, for me, since I still have a year's worth of lower division work to do. Thanks for all the replies :)</p>
<p>Wow i really would not trust what that person said, read the catalogue instead.</p>
<p>there is a max number of units you can take at most UCs otherwise people would double, triple and quadruple major.</p>
