<p>Ok so I have 69 transferrable units or 103.5 quarter units. I know UCLA has a 216 unit cap so i was wondering if i had enough units to fulfill my major since im changing it. </p>
<p>Im a pre poli sci major and I want to change to sociology or english. I would need to take like three to four prereq classes to do this. </p>
<p>Can graduate within the unit cap? Am i in danger?</p>
<p>I think if you take everything in one 2-year-college system, it's fine. Although maximum 70 units will be transfered, you'll get 'subject credits' which will satisfy your requirement without getting units over 70 units.</p>
<p>im a little confused. I mean I already got accepted to UCLA but i still need to take calc and i think a couple of other classes to change to sociology.</p>
<p>So if you have 103 and the cap is 216 it seems like you can take more classes. I mean 4 prereq classes are 12 units so, 1.5*12. That's 18 quarter units, add that to 103.5 and its 121.5, still under the UC cap.</p>
<p>well of course that would be under the cap but add like 16 courses that fulfill the major...that's what I'm worried about</p>
<p>16 courses is 64 units only (on average)
You bring in 104 (rounded up) </p>
<p>that is only 168- not even enough to graduate.</p>
<p>If we add in 5 more preqs for Sociology (not sure if you even need that many) that would be 20 units.</p>
<p>So that is like 188. Lets say that you have not 16 courses but 20 for the major ( you dont, but lets really round all the way up there), so that is an extra 4 required courses, another 20 units, that puts you at 208 units--- still not at the unit max, and trust me , sociology doesnt require 20 courses. </p>
<p>You need at min 180 at most 216. </p>
<p>So yes you can switch majors and be well within the allowable.</p>
