What is the max amount of units before transferring to UCLA?

<p>How many units are you allowed to take at a community college before you transfer to UCLA? I read somewhere that it is 86 semester units, but I am not sure. Does anyone know the exact amount of units you can go up till and still transfer to UCLA?</p>

<p>Oh ya and this question is regarding semester units, not quarter units.</p>

<p>As many as you want. But they only take 105quarter units.</p>

<p>you can only transfer a max of 70 semester units.</p>

<p>You can take as many as you want as long as you don't take any upper division courses.</p>

<p>wow.. four replies and they're all different :P</p>

<p>OK you can transfer a max of 70 semester units but you can take as many units as you possibly want at a CCC. However if you go above 80 or 86 units than be very careful that known of the classes you have taken are upper division courses from another institution than a CCC because if you have over 80 or 86 units then you could be considered senior standing by the UCs and UCs do not accept senior transfers.</p>

<p>The dude and coffee are giving you the same answer. 70 semester units x 1.5 (conversion factor for semester to quarter units)= 105 quaRTER units.</p>

<p>This is correct for any uc, and i should know, i am in a similar situation. I will have over 70 semester lower division (community college) units when i do transfer, and i will only get credit at the uc for 70 of those.</p>

<p>If you are not transferring from a community college, then you should pay attention to thedude44's advice.</p>

He's coming from a community college--no community college offers upper division courses. Just FYI :)</p>

<p>Even though hes coming from a CC its still good advice because some CC students will take summer courses at a four year school which might offer some upper division courses over the summer. Also some students will drop out of a UC and then go to a CC when they have already taken one or two upper division classes.</p>

<p>I transfered with 98 semester units, but they only transfer 70 semester units, but still give you credit for the rest.</p>

<p>extraghost, if you you only transfered 70 semester units, what kind of credit did you receive for the other 28??</p>

<p>it is called subject credit</p>

<p>Yea, you get the credit for taking the class, but you just dont get any units added to your total.</p>

<p>so how does subject credit help you toward graduation ?</p>

<p>Its the exact same thing as unit credits, except you don't get any units added to your total. It's helpful in that it doesn't push you towards your unit cap, but you still recieved credit for taking the class.</p>

<p>it is also helpful in that it does satisfy requirements and preqs for your major.</p>

<p>my situation is actually similar though, see I'm coming from a foreign university with a 2 years worth of units, and to my estimation its about 30-35 transferrable units. And since i'm a Bus Econ major, I think I should follow the IGETC. thats about 70-75 quarter units. And my prereqs are about 20. So if you add tha tup thats about 125 quarter units. I haven't taken any upper division courses ( since i'm studying broadcasting at the foreign university theres not that many classes that will transfer over, except probably arts/humanities and social behavior sciences classes). So am I still eligible to transfer to UCLA? will they even consider me?</p>

<p>can somebody answer this question? i've been calling ucla but htey aren't answering</p>

<p>i think that would be way too many units, thats two years foreign, two more at a cc correct? FOur years, of college before transfer might seriously hurt your chances, (as far as I know) you should apply with what you have..</p>
