<p>if anything, the units from the CSU carry a risk but the AP ones don’t. According to [University</a> of California - AP credits](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/ap-credits/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/ap-credits/index.html)
They don’t say this about college units earned elsewhere prior to enrolling, at least not on that webpage. </p>
<p>It seems there is a chance that the almost year worth of classes you list from the CSU will mean that sometime after the end of his 1st year at UCLA he will be a junior by units and have to pick a major, plus will be on a timeline to graduate that is sooner than if he didn’t have those units. I’m not affiliated with UCLA so I don’t know this is correct, but you might want to check. From what dinoian says the unit cap can be raised (although if it was me I’d want it in writing or an email from UCLA) but you should check if it affects when he needs to declare a major. Hopefully it has no effect, but you probably want to know before he applies those credits.</p>
