Do AP units count towards transfers from a CC to a 4-year?

Hello all.

I am currently at a CC in California. After this year, I should have around 35-40 semester units completed.

I’ve been looking at colleges to transfer to, and I’ve noticed that most of them have a minimum amount of units requirement.

For example, Pitzer College in Claremont requires 32 semester units, and the UC’s/Cal States require 60 semester units.

I was wondering if I passed AP tests (I passed 3), will the units earned from those tests count IN ADDITION to the 35-40 units that I will have completed by the end of the year. (Let’s say if each test I passed gave me 4 units for a total of 12 units; would I have 47-52 units instead of 35-40?)

I hope I’m making sense.

Thank you.
