<p>I am going to be attending saddleback college, and I was wondering what the maximum number of units is for transferring to a UC from a community college. I think I might have over 70 semester units by the time I will be transferring, but I heard that 70 is the maximum number of units you can take. Is this true? I haven't been to any other college, and this will be my freshman year of community college. Please give me as much feedback as possible. Also, I'm an engineering major, if that helps.</p>
<p>What is the max number of units that a community college only student can have?</p>
<p>Answer: ∞</p>
<p>Really? I thought you can only have a certain amount of units, because if you have too many, you’ll be considered a senior, and the UCs don’t accept senior level students. That’s how it works, right?</p>
<p>Answer: ∞ </p>
<p>but you’ll only get credit for up to 70.</p>
<p>So what, do they just not count the non-transferrable courses?</p>
<p>that 70 or so unit limit is private school units.
but if your transferring from a ccc you can take up to as many as your ccc will allow, which could might as well be the whole course offerings.
when you transfer in from a ccc(say you have 200 ccc units), the uc will only give you credit for a set limit which works towards your degree at that particular UC. Any thing after that set limit doesn’t count for anything(unless you’ll have it count for the lower division requirements for a double major or minor/s) but will show up on your UC transcripts.</p>
<p>They count transferable classes in units for graduation after you transfer, but the most they can give you is 70. If you have more than that they’ll simply count the ones that overflow towards subject credit which means that even though you don’t get unit credit towards graduation, they’ll give you subject credit so you don’t have to repeat the class again. </p>
<p>CC students don’t hit senior status when applying if they only came from a CC, because you’ve only been taking lower division classes. So you can transfer with 70 or 200 semester units and admissions won’t care. It’s just that they’ll cap you off at 70.</p>
<p>They put that notice for students who attend any type of four year university. As long as they don’t exceed that unit cap at the four year, they’re okay. Also if for some reason you first attend a four year and then go back to a CC, as long as you didn’t reach max units during your year, you’re okay. You can even take as many CC units as you want.</p>
<p>Like others have said, CC students have no limit but once you do transfer they do put a cap on the amount of unit credit and for the rest of your classes they simply give you credit.</p>
<p>Alright, so I get how the unit caps work for regular admissions now. How about if I wanted to get a TAG? Do they still do the same thing, or do they really make it so you can’t get in with excess units?</p>
<p>Same deal for TAG.</p>
