Does anyone know if I get credit for AP Calc BC in my CC would it fulfill the prereq for Haas/Marshall/UCLA as well? This is regardless to the credit these schools give for AP credit on their website.

Also, what is the max units I can have that would put me as a junior once I transfer?

I think you guys are missing what i am trying to say.

It doesnt matter if your CC gives you credit for the preq or not. It will be the UC that will actually evaluate that credit to determine if you meet the preq. or the g.e. requirement.

Your AP credit is not transfered from CC to UC
it is AP---> UC
AP ---> CC

So if your CC gives you credit for having a score of 3, but the UC does not, then you do not get credit.

You can have as many units from CC as you want, you will only get number credit for 105/70 quarter/semester units.

fouxdufafa, yes you will get credit if you scored high enough and the UC allocates x amount of credit for your score.

Thank you for clearing that up. However, I still have a question about the AP credit...If I get the generic credit for calculus by scoring a 3 on the BC exam then will that at the least fulfill the prereq requirement for my major so that I don't have to take it at CC even though I have to take it at UCLA again? I assume that if I get the actual course credit like 31A then I would not need to take it at UCLA once I get there?

I heard that if you have too many units then you are not allowed to transfer as a junior...or is that just for people who are transferring from a 4 year to another UC?

It looks like if I get credit for my AP courses then I will have 76 units (over the limit)...even though I don't get the extra 6 units transferred, I do get credited for all the classes I took, correct? All 76 units are required classes for the schools I am applying to.

I think you are answering your own question without realizing it. If you have to take it at UCLA again then no it did not fulfill your preq requirement. If you UCLA didnt give you credit for it, the type of credit you need for your major or for GE then you do not have credit for it. Just b/c your CC gave you credit for it, that doesnt matter.

If your major has a preq of 31 A and you do not get AP credit for 31a then you do not satisfy that preq.

You can only transfer as a Junior- most UC campuses do not accept senior transfer. However you can have unlimited number of Units from a community college, they will give you course credit for anything over 70/105 not unit credit, coming from community college it is IMPOSSIBLE to enter as a senior transfer.
