90 units for transfer?

RedIce · 06-11-2008, 12:30 AM

Ok so the UC Transfer FAQ says 60 units to be eligible for Junior-level transfer (which I assume is semester units, so 90 quarter units), but at the same time people say if you have over 90 units then you will be rejected for having too many units? Is the 90 units referring to quarter or semester units?

semester, and i dont think that rule always applies.

So if you make 90 quarter units in 1 year, and you applied to a UC and failed, can you apply again the next year as long as you don't gain over 45 quarter units during the 2nd year? Giving you 2 chances to transfer?

Btw my case is a UCD to UCSD transfer.

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 four-year 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 admissions staff looks for those students who have accumulated 90 or fewer semester units.

So, it looks like you've got the right idea. As long as you don't go over 135 quarter units _at the time of transfer_ you can have a second chance.

So does community courses taken in high school count?

If the courses are UC transferable then most likely they will be part of your unit count. Like always, a student can not accumulate more than 70 semester (105 quarter) units from a community college. Also, AP/IB units can be used to meet the minimum unit requirement but, shouldn't be used against the student for the unit limitation the campus has in place.
