<p>Hellolilly , its not about forcing anyone . UC transferable units are still good for CSU , it just doesn’t always work the other way . Like I have 15 CSU only units , since my CC wasted money on offering CSU only classes . Lets say those 5 classes had been UC transferable courses, then I’d be ahead right now and if I had went to a CSU I would also get credit for those 5 classes . </p>
<p>As for lower classes, yeah if you need to take Algebra one since you missed it in 9th grade, go ahead, but you shouldn’t receive aid for it</p>
