80+ units?

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>I was looking at the UC application, and on the side it states that most campuses don’t take people with over 80 transfer units…</p>

<p>If that’s the case, I’ll be restricted to 11 units next semester… which means I won’t be able to complete my TAP… </p>

<p>anyone have any insight on this?</p>

<p>here is the quote from UC application:</p>

<p>"</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p>

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

<p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>Unit limitations do not apply to students who have received all their units at a California Community College.</p>

<p>u obviously did not read the first page of berkeley catalog
its as Ektaylor said</p>

<p>The unit limit does not apply to applicants who only attended community colleges.</p>

<p>gardianangel… you are assuming that all of disengage’s credits were earned at a ccc level. there are lots of people who get credits from different schools so it is a legitimate question… give the person posting this question a break</p>

6

<p>i dun geddit… even if u attended 20 CCs as long as ur units are from a CC the 80 limit doesn’t count…
how are his units not earned at a CCC level? i’ve read his previous posts before
mayB ur the one assuming that not all his credits were from a CC?</p>

<p>mayB its coz i m a frequent forumer resulting in my intolerance for people who do not use the search button much less say do their own research via really browsing into school sites</p>

<p>because some people go to CSU’s, private colleges, trade colleges…etc in which some of the credits are transferable and contribute to the unit cap that’s why they have a unit cap. My husband took a few classes at a private college in addition to his ccc units and almost went over the cap. He cut it close enough that it put his TAG in jeapardy and now he has to petition to one of the UC’s so it can happen. all I’m saying is that we can’t assume that he/she who posted that question has only been to a ccc and not any additional institutions.</p>

<p>in his other posts it says that he goes to a CC with 60+ units
and currently taking classes
and + next semester = 80+ units
bingo there u have it</p>

<p>A student may only obtain 70 semester (105 quarter) transferable units from a community college. You can complete more courses and receive course credit but will not accumulate more that 70 transferable units. Therefore the 90 semester (120 quarter) transferable unit limit is not possible for students attending a community college.</p>
