HS senior with AA & 60+ sem hrs required to apply as transfer?

Colleges & Universities University of California - Berkeley

<p>My DD plans to graduate HS with AA from CC (in FL).</p>

<p>I’m a CA resident, and have determined that DD is able apply as “in-state”.</p>

<p>In FL, students can apply as freshmen if that have taken less than 12 sem credits after their HS graduation.</p>

<p>Will my DD be required to apply as an in-state CC transfer (from a FL CC)?</p>

<p>Thanks, I’ve performed a web search and the answer has eluded me.</p>

<p>ucbalumnus, thanks. </p>

<p>I suspect that my DD, if accepted as a freshman, will have advanced class standing for the propose of course selection etc. </p>

<p>It will be an additional bonus if her CC work prior to HS graduation doesn’t count toward her unit maximum (i.e. she can take her time adjusting to Cal life without facing the need to be done in four semesters, as a student with junior standing).</p>

<p>Yes, transferred college credit (and AP credit) will increase class standing. However, there also appears to be a concept of class level, which is based on semesters since entry. So an entering frosh who brings in 60 units will have junior class standing, but frosh class level.</p>

<p>Berkeley College of Letters and Science has a unit ceiling described at <a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/registration/unitceiling.html”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/registration/unitceiling.html&lt;/a&gt; . Students entering as frosh can take as many units as they want in eight semesters, but registration for semesters beyond eight is not allowed if the student has more than 130 units (136 for those with more than one major).</p>

<p>Note that <a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/registration/deductible.html”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/registration/deductible.html&lt;/a&gt; says that college course work prior to high school graduation does not apply toward the unit ceiling.</p>

<p>Other divisions have their own rules. For example, the College of Engineering requires students to ask permission for any semesters beyond eight.</p>
