<p>I got accepted to UCLA, BUT I don't have all the prerequisites for my major. If I go to Santa Monica College, will the allow me to transfer those credits if I already have 108 quarter units? I want to transfer about 33 quarter units from SMC. This is all assuming UCLA allows me me to be concurrently enrolled in two campuses.</p>
<p>Why not just stay at CC an extra year? 33 units is like 22 semester units. If you get lucky, you can even use concurrent enrollment to take 2 classes at UCLA per academic year (one each quarter) from SMC. Best part is tuition is 100% free. 22 semester units + 8 quarter units = 1 years worth of classes too. </p>
<p>@Bomerr I could finish my degree in two year if UCLA would allow me to take classes at SMC, Plus, I won’t need to take any classes that have Chem and Physics as prerequisites until my last year at UCLA. So that gives me two semesters to finish 22 units. I really want to move out!</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t you just take the classes at UCLA? Lower division/pre-req doesn’t mean you need to take it at a CC.</p>
<p>@Failure622 I don’t want to take them at UCLA several reasons. The first reasons is that I don’t want to go over the unit limit at UCLA, if I do, they kick you out. The second reason is that If I do them at SMC, it will be faster. The last reason is that classes at SMC are easier. </p>
<p>There is the option of starting UCLA in the winter quarter, rather than Spring. That way you can take SMC classes in the fall, but wouldn’t have to wait an entire year to start. You could also take SMC classes either this summer or next. </p>
<p>I’m not sure how starting in Winter would affect your on campus housing situation though. </p>

Several links on this page address that exact question. <a href=“http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ucla+concurrent+enrollment+”>http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ucla+concurrent+enrollment+</a></p>
<p>Oh my friggen god @mikemac , that link went to some automated google page that put the search term in… Never saw that before.
Anyway it just went to a long list of links and I’m too lazy to search. :-0
If anyone has the answer, I’m interested to know. I do recall parents in the past telling me their kids were back from their universities and took summer classes to supplement at the local CC. I wasn’t paying much attention so don’t know which universities they were. I would assume if you aren’t at the transfer unit cap and they were transferable, you could. But that’s just a layman’s hunch.</p>
<p>@lindyk8 - taking CCC classes over summer is 1 thing, but OP wants to take CCC while simultaneously taking UCLA classes, which is completely different. </p>
<p>Right @2016Candles. I have no idea.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 The hurdle to attend a CCC while attending a UC is small. you must get permission (which is not too hard to get)… As a warning, if you are receiving Financial Aid then you still have to be a full-time student at UCLA to receive full aid… so taking 12+units at UCLA in addition to 3/4 units at SMC is not that easy, considering the extra commute. Its not worth the hastle…</p>
<p>dont be afraid of taking hard classes at UCLA… you got to learn how to roll with the bigboys. (just because your avatar is a cat does not mean you have act like one, lol)</p>
<p>but to answer your question… yes you are allowed to fullfill pre-requisites… try to fill them in summer of 2014 and summer 2015</p>
<p>Thanks for info @dagoberto! And if it’s any consolation @collegedropout1, it seems that a lot of people who go in with strong GPAs pretty much maintain them at their UC. If it’s a monetary consideration, maybe concurrent terms, you just do one night class, and then a couple in summer.</p>
<p>Concurrent enrollment is not allowed during the Fall, Winter and Spring. </p>
<p>Concurrent Enrollment</p>
<p>Concurrent enrollment–defined as taking courses during regular sessions (Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters) for credit at UCLA and, at the same time, at another non-UC institution, including UCLA Extension–is not permitted except in extraordinary circumstances, and no credit is given for such courses unless the approval of the UCLA College or school has been obtained by petition prior to enrollment.</p>
<p>Here’s the link </p>

<p>@BurntCorpse I went to the link here is what I found:</p>
<p>Intersegmental Cross-Enrollment</p>
<p>At the discretion of the appropriate campus authorities on both campuses, the California Education Code allows undergraduate students enrolled in any campus of the California community colleges, the California State University, or the University of California to enroll without formal admission in a maximum of one course per academic term at a campus of either of the other systems on a space-available basis. Enrollment in precollege courses is excluded.</p>
<p>UCLA students qualify for intersegmental cross-enrollment if they meet all the following requirements:</p>
<p>Complete at least one term at UCLA as a matriculated student
Enroll for a minimum of 6 units for the current term
Earn a grade-point average of 2.0 © for work completed
Pay appropriate registration fees at UCLA for the current term
Complete appropriate academic preparation as determined by the host campus
Have California resident status
Obtain a concurrent enrollment application from the College or school. An administration fee is charged for each academic term such enrollment is requested.</p>
<p>@mikemac I think your reading comprehension skills need some work. I don’t know if you know, but the statement “This is all assuming UCLA allows me me to be concurrently enrolled in two campuses”, is NOT a question. Which is why I did NOT have a question mark. Why would I need a link showing me UCLA’s concurrent enrollment policies when I already knew them at the time I asked the question? I said assuming because I knew it was very difficult to be concurrently enrolled since UCLA said they rarely approve the petitions, besides that was NEVER even the question. Please read more carefully next time and try to learn the difference between a statement and a question. </p>
<p>I think this link can help you: <a href=“LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You”>LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You;
<p>@Lindyk8 You said: Oh my friggen god @mikemac , that link went to some automated google page that put the search term in… Never saw that before. :)</p>
<p>He does the google thing a lot, even when the situation doesn’t call for it. I guess he tried to be witty and funny, but at the end he just ended up looking like he was reading at an elementary school level. </p>

@CollegeDropout1 I can see that you find your inability to express yourself in English frustrating. But lashing out is not the answer. Frustration is just going to slow your improvement in learning English, and you will find being able to express your thoughts important if you ever end up attending a 4-year university.</p>
<p>You originally wrote “This is all assuming UCLA…” Let me share the definition of “assuming”
From</a> your rabid comments it appears you thought you were saying “I already knew them at the time I asked the question” but to any native speaker you were actually saying you had absolutely no idea of whether it was true or not! There is quite a distance between the two concepts, don’t you agree? </p>
<p>I can only imagine your inability to accurately express your thoughts and the occasional expression of the exact opposite of what you mean (as happened in this case) is proving troublesome to you in school and perhaps in your daily activities.</p>
<p>As you prepare for your possible admission to a 4-year university I suggest you be sure to set aside some time to improve your ability to speak and write English. Reading widely is always a good idea. So is listening to broadcast news. The grammar they use is correct and the vocabulary is geared to a level that you should be able to understand completely. Best of luck to you in learning our language!</p>
<p>@mikemac My English is fine! It was actually my first language. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing about you. Just because you can’t adequately understand what I wrote, doesn’t mean that my writing skills are poor. It just means that you should have paid more attention in your English classes. Maybe you should follow your own advice and read more often. Remember, practice what you preach!</p>
<p>You said "Let me share the definition of “assuming”. I don’t know if you were listening in second grade, but the teacher clearly said that the meaning of words can sometimes depend on the context in which they are used. To give you a quick lesson, this is one of those cases. There is no THE meaning of meaning of assuming, because that would imply there is only one! There are many. I used "assuming in this context.</p>
<p>“Used for the purpose of argument to indicate a premise on which a statement can be based.” That is straight from google, something you seem so found of, but didn’t bother using.</p>
<p>I don’t see how you could have even thought that assuming means “saying you had absolutely no idea of whether it was true or not!” No competent English speaker would ever think that. Any person with command of the English language would have been able to correctly interpret that sentence. You either clearly lack the necessary skills to be give decent responses to questions, or you’re just BSing in order to save whatever dignity you have left. Whatever the case, you should stop and learn from this situation.You were so eager to make people feel bad, and in this case, it ended up back firing since you made yourself look stupid. I wouldn’t have been so rude, but it seems that you are very condescending to so many people on here. Just be nicer. Be a better human being. Is that so hard?</p>
<p>By they way, don’t bring down the millions of native speakers down to your level. Most of them could probably understand my question. Most people on here would also disagree with you interpretation. </p>
<p>Here, I’ll even ask: Does anyone think that " This is all assuming UCLA allows me me to be concurrently enrolled in two campuses" means that “I have absolutely no idea of whether it was true or not”?</p>
