<p>I am currently enrolled in a CC. But I went to a 4 year for 2 and half years prior. I am applying for transfer this fall for fall 2012, but would I apply as a CCtransfer or a 4year transfer?</p>
<p>How long have you been at your CC? On the application, you don’t differentiate between which you are, though CC Junior transfers take precedence. Depending on the number of total UC transferable units you have from your 4 yr + CC, you may be ineligible to apply to some of the UCs due to them capping the number of units you may have before transfer.</p>
<p>after this fall, I will have been at my CC for only a year. I had 87 units from my 4year but only 58 of them transferred to my CC. and I completed 10 CC units this past spring.</p>
<p>Good job staying on top of things, but you need to try to estimate how many of your 4-yr units will be UC transferable also. If you last attended a CC (and for 2 terms in good standing), you will be considered a CC transfer. Here are the unit limitations just so you can make sure you don’t go over if you plan on applying to a particular UC:</p>
<p>What are the unit limitations or restrictions on admission for students who have attended
a four-year institution before enrolling at a California community college? Do any majors
or schools on your campus interpret this policy differently? </p>
<p>UCB: Each of the individual colleges and the Haas School of Business
establishes its own unit limitation policies for students who have attended a fouryear institution before enrolling at a community college: </p>
<p>The College of Letters and Science: A student who has accumulated more than
80 transferable semester units from a four-year institution is considered to have
excess units and will not be admitted. A student who has completed 80 or fewer
UC transferable semester units at a four-year university and then transfers to a
community college will not accrue excess units and will be considered for
admission. Students will be granted subject credit, but not unit credit, for
appropriate two-year college coursework taken in excess of the community
college 70-unit limit; such subject credit may be used to satisfy/complete
requirements. </p>
<p>The College of Environmental Design: This college follows the same unit
accumulation policy as the College of Letters and Science (see above), except
that its limit on transferable coursework taken at a four-year university is 86
semester units. </p>
<p>Other colleges: UC Berkeley’s other colleges total both university units and a
maximum of 70 community college UC-transferable units. The limits on combined
transferable university and community college work:
College of Chemistry: 80 semester units; applicants with more than
80 units require special approval.
College of Engineering: 89 semester units.
College of Natural Resources: 90 semester units. Though the College does not
have a specific unit limitation, it carefully reviews applicants with 90 or more
semester units to ensure that they can graduate within a reasonable time.
Haas School of Business: No maximum limit. </p>
<p>UCD: The deans of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences,
the College of Letters and Science and the Division of Biological Sciences
review applications from students who have 80 or more transferable semester
units (120 or more transferable quarter units) of combined baccalaureate
institution and community college work. Units earned through AP or IB
examinations are counted separately for this purpose; AP and IB units do not put
applicants at risk of being denied admission or of having an admissions decision
delayed due to a dean’s review. Applicants subject to review will be admitted if a
dean’s assessment is that the student is making good progress toward the
baccalaureate degree and can complete the degree within the college’s
maximum unit limit. All transfer applications to the College of Engineering
undergo careful screening to assess the level of academic preparation for the
major; the College of Engineering does not conduct a separate review of
applicants who have 80 or more transferable semester units (120 or more
transferable quarter units) of combined baccalaureate institution/ community
college work. Students who are well prepared for the majors will be admitted to
the College of Engineering even if they exceed the 80/120 unit standard. </p>
<p>UCI: UC Irvine does not set a limit on the number of units an applicant may earn
at a four-year institution before enrolling at a community college. It is important to
note, however, that UCI adheres to a strict residency rule: a student must
complete 36 of the last 45 quarter units at UCI to receive a UCI B.A…/B.S.
degree. </p>
<p>UCLA: With the exception of the School of Nursing, UCLA generally considers a
student who has accumulated more than 86 transferable semester units (130
transferable quarter units) at a university to have exceeded maximum units
allowable for admission. Such a student will not be admitted. For the College of
Letters and Science, a student who completed 86 or fewer UC-transferable
semester units (130 or fewer transferable quarter units) at a university then
transferred to, and remained exclusively at, a community college does not
exceed the maximum units allowable for admission purposes. </p>
<p>UCM: Students who have completed more than 89 semester units will not be
considered for admission unless special approval is received from the
appropriate dean. However, students who completed 89 or fewer units at a fouryear institution and then transferred to a community college will be considered for
admission. Subject credit toward completion of requirements will be granted for
appropriate community college units earned beyond the 70-unit limit. </p>
<p>UCR: UC Riverside does not limit the number of units an applicant may earn at a
four-year institution before enrolling at a community college. However, UCeligible applicants who have attended a four-year institution and who present 80
or more semester (120 or more quarter) units in transfer credit will be reviewed
by the dean of the college for completion of a specified pattern of courses that
provides continuity with upper division courses within the major. An applicant will
be admitted if the dean’s office determines that the student can complete a
baccalaureate degree within the maximum limit of 216 quarter units.
UCSD: UC San Diego considers a student with more than 90 transferable
semester units (135 quarter units) from the combination of a two-year and a fouryear institution to be in senior standing. UCSD sets a 90 semester unit limit when
a student has attended both a two-year and a four-year institution. UCSD will
transfer a maximum of 70 semester units from a community college; the
admission staff looks for those students who have accumulated 90 or fewer
semester units. </p>
<p>UCSB: The College of Letters and Sciences does not accept applications from
students who have earned 135 or more transferable quarter (90 or more
semester) units from a combination of two-year and four-year institutions. </p>
<p>UCSC: UC Santa Cruz does not accept applications from students who have
earned 135 or more transferable quarter (90 or more semester) units from a fouryear institution or a combination of two-year and four-year institutions. This
campus wide policy is not subject to college or departmental interpretation.</p>
