How many units from a CC is too many?

<p>After Spring 09, I will have finished 88 semester units…Does this put me at a disadvantage in getting in to LA, or UCB? I am also tap certified…I just thought of this now and any help would be great! Thanks.</p>

<p>88 semester units would be like, what, 132 quarter units? it’s weird how i’ve heard that UCs don’t favor excess units but i don’t think it’ll necessarily hurt you. my friend completed 122 quarter units before she transferred to UCLA (was TAP certified too) so you should be fine.</p>

states: Most programs will not offer admission to students with excess units, i.e., more than 80 UC-transferable semester units before enrollment.
exception: If all coursework was completed at a two-year college, this excess unit policy does not apply.</p>

<p>btw, what is your major?</p>

<p>if all your units are from a CCC then you’re fine. Otherwise, read this: <a href=“http://www.cabrillo.edu/services/articulation/info/PDFs%20for%20Site/ucunitlimits_4yr_2yr.pdf[/url]”>http://www.cabrillo.edu/services/articulation/info/PDFs%20for%20Site/ucunitlimits_4yr_2yr.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
