<p>It is not conflicting info. [Office</a> of Undergraduate Advising: Unit Ceiling](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/registration/unitceiling.html]Office”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/registration/unitceiling.html) says that the 130/136 unit ceiling applies only if you will take more than 8 semesters (4 for junior transfers).</p>
<p>Based on [Office</a> of Undergraduate Advising: Deductible Units](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/registration/deductible.html]Office”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/registration/deductible.html) , spring admits’ fall CC courses do count toward the unit ceiling. But they should not count toward the 8 semesters, since they were not at Berkeley.</p>
<p>Example, in 2009, you were admitted to start in spring 2010. You took CC courses in fall 2009 and started at Berkeley in spring 2010, attending Berkeley every fall and spring semester since then. In this case, fall 2013 would be your eighth semester; for any semesters beyond that, you would have to worry about the unit ceiling, including the fall 2009 CC course units.</p>
<p>Remember that divisions other than L&S (CoC, CoE, Haas, CNR, CED) have different rules; the above apply to L&S.</p>
