i would be able to stay at ucla for 3 years after transferring rather than having to graduate after only 2 at la

Transfers to UCs enter as juniors, and are supposed to be on a two year plan to graduate, though many take extra quarters or semesters beyond two academic years due to having to “catch up” on lower division courses not available at their CCs.

UCLA does have limits on units and number of quarters according https://caac.ucla.edu/policies/unit-maximum/ indicates that if you go beyond fall of your third year after transfer (i.e. seventh non-summer quarter after transfer), you are subject to a 216 unit limit. However, if many of your units are from AP credit, you may have more headroom than a typical transfer student, since AP credit is not counted against the 216 unit limit. When transferring in with 90 to 105 units, it should take five or six quarters to reach 180 units minimum to graduate; you then could have two more quarters of headroom, plus any additional headroom from not counting AP credit against the limit, to stay additional quarters.
