Can I apply for fall 2016 if I only have 40 quarter units?

I’m looking to transfer in fall 2016, I took a quarter off from my local Community college ( which I’m regretting ) and I’m only gonna have 40 Transferable credits by end of this summer. I plan on taking 4 classes next quarter , followed by 3 the following and another 3 the next. And possibly a summer class next hear.
Am I safe to transfer as a 3rd year?

As long as you have 60 semester/90 quarter by next spring you can apply to the UCs this fall.
