<p>^^Study, study, and study some more. Where do you want to transfer to?</p>
<p>UC’s go by the quarter system, which means classes are only 10-weeks long (Compare to some CSU’s Semester system which is roughly 16-weeks long). Imagine being a full-time student and the classes go by fast, and I mean fast. However, UC Berkeley and Merced are Semester system. Go to your counselor and create a transfer plan on where you want to transfer to. Make an appointment. </p>

<li>I believe CSU’s do AR, ask your admissions and records office.</li>
<li>F’s and D’s don’t matter if they are non-transferable to a UC’s, however you cannot replace C’s since they are considered a passing grade. If you have F’s and D’s in a UC-transferable classes then I suggest you to re-take it for a B or A grades.</li>
<li>For transfers into UC, all that matters is your GPA and your major.</li>
