UC Application Question thread. Anything about the UC application

[AMorrison]

@ iambeowulf - If you don't end up taking the classes you've put in your application, you'll need to contact the admissions office to change it.

In the section where you have to input your courses for each semester, only the transferrable courses show up, so does that mean for the non-transferrable classes I have to just enter them by hand?

[Wingspan]

Are you even supposed to input non-transferrable classes?

[saad.ahmad]

Thats what I don't know...some people on this forum are saying that you have to...oh well im just gonna put them on anyway, doesn't make a difference

[Cali Trumpet]

Different UCs tend to have different major requirements. For example, for my major, UCSD/UCSB requires Calc C while the other UCs only require CalcA/B.

To keep my options open, I plan to put Calc C as my planned course for Spring quarter. If I end up getting into the UC that I want that does not require Calc C as a prerequisite, will they be unhappy if I change up CalcC for another class?

Also, do UCs straight up reject you if they see you will be missing a major requirement by the end of Spring 2010 prior to transfer?

omfg... i am so fricking confused now... how am i supposed to put my non-transferrable courses down if it doesnt even come up? T_T Like my English 091 class...

[lilaterila]

You just add the class the same way you add the transferrable ones... course number and all. Put it down the same way it appears on your transcript if you have one on hand.

When do I have to get my IGETC stuff from when I was in highschool, i.e. my 3 years of German to meet the foreign language pre req, and my AP classes?

[estrellatuya]

@Cali Trumpet - i wouldn't worry about changing calc C, if it's not a requirement they won't hold it against you. and if you're missing a major requirement they will not automatically reject you, it's not a big deal unless the major's impacted.

@sanitydc - you don't need to send in your igetc certification/transcripts until after you're accepted, just note on the application your igetc is complete. (there should be a section for AP courses/exams as well.)

You can't even input non-transferable classes. I tried to do it with my remedial math classes and it wouldn't let me.

I'll have 60 units by spring, but my IGETC won't be certified till summer 2010, so I'm gonna ask my counselor is that acceptable.

Ok, so new question:

I had health issues after highschool that limited mobility so I took University of Phoenix online classes ( which suckedd). Now i'm better and completed IGETC at cc, which wouldn't (and I didn't want them to) accept courses from UoP.

I know I'm supposed to add that I went there, but I can't find the school code anywhere (the local satellite "school" was in Pasadena, not Phoenix, and each have separate #s).

I didn't and won't reveive a degree/ diploma so what do I fill in on the app? Do I have to list those courses I took there too? I really don't want to deal with that stupid school ugh..

[AMorrison]

snooks86 - You need to do it manually (i.e. don't pick it from the menu they give you for each school you've attended). Type into the boxes underneath that menu. I added my non-transferable math class with no issue.

joliefillie - I think you need to put down that you went there, even if there isn't a code.

[retep]

Remedial classes don't even count in your transferable gpa..so why even put it in?

[AMorrison]

I put it in because I didn't finish all four years of high school, so I need them to see that I completed those high school level requirements. It also shows that I didn't only take two classes during a Spring semester.

[lilaterila]

You have to put down all the classes listed on your transcript. End of story.
