Over 70 credits

What happens if you are at a community college and you reach 70 or more units?

do non-transferable classes, like intermediate alg count in this 70 unit max?

no non-transferable classes do not count towards the 70 unit max. Even if you do end up with more than 70 transferable units, some schools wont mind. you wont get unit credit for anything over 70 but you will get credit for actually taking the class.

I think 70 units is still fine.

Fall 2008 (creidts to ucop. got it directly form the application)

In addition to the restrictions listed here, some academic programs do not accept applications from students in certain applicant categories. Such limitations are noted in the section of the application where you choose your major.

Berkeley
UCB rarely accepts transfer applicants with fewer than 60 semester units. Most programs generally do not accept transfer students with more than 80 semester units. Only the College of Chemistry and the College of Engineering consider second baccalaureate applications. Only the College of Chemistry considers limited status applications.

Davis
The College of Letters and Science and the College of Biological Sciences do not accept applicants for second baccalaureate degrees or in limited status. Generally, none of the colleges accept transfer students with more than 80 semester (120 quarter) units. Applications for limited status are considered only by the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Applications for second baccalaureate degrees are considered only by the College of Engineering (with restrictions) and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.

Irvine
UCI-eligible transfer applicants with fewer than 60 semester units or more than 80 semester units will be considered for admission only as space permits.

Los Angeles
UCLA accepts transfer students at the junior level only (minimum of 60 semester/ 90 quarter units) and rarely accepts students with more than 129 quarter units. UCLA does not accept applications for second baccalaureate degrees, except in Nursing, or limited status applications.

Merced
UCM may accept transfer applicants with fewer than 60 semester units or more than 80 semester units only if space is available.

Riverside
UCR accepts transfer students at all levels who meet all major selection criteria. The College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences and the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences accept undeclared majors at the freshman level only.

San Diego
UCSD accepts only transfer applicants who have completed at least 60 transferable semester (90 quarter) units by the end of the spring term prior to fall enrollment. UCSD does not accept applications for second baccalaureate degrees or limited status applications.

Santa Barbara
UCSB accepts transfer students at the junior level only (minimum of 60 semester/90 quarter units) and rarely accepts students with more than 130 quarter units. UCSB does not accept applications for limited status or second baccalaureate degrees.

Santa Cruz
UCSC does not accept applications from students who have attended a four-year college/university and have earned 135 or more UC-transferable quarter units.


so we are not suppose to get over 80 units or else we cant even apply? b/c im planning to take some courses to bump up my gpa and I still have prerequistes like japanese 2,3,4,(15 units) math 5a/5b(10 units) and i have about 50 units and this fall i have like 12 units that like 60 something + prereq - well over 80, i don't knwo what to do...but i did email and ask -_-

The general consensus seems to be that those limits do not apply to CCC students. Whether we have 60 semester units or 150, if we've only attended CCC's we are still junior transfers as all of our units are from lower division coursework.
