<p>When I filled in the UC application update in January I didn’t put down that I planned to take summer courses. However, I would now like to sign up for summer courses and transfer those grades. Is there a date I need to inform the UCs by? or can I just transfer the courses after I complete them this summer? </p>
<p>I really can’t sign up for the courses until I speak with the councilor who has to approve courses in order for me to receive the G.I. Bill during the summer, and I’m not going to be able to do that until a couple weeks from now.</p>
<p>When you transfer over to which ever UC school you are accepted into. You can be able to transfer over the units you take during the summer if they are transferrable for credit.</p>
<p>Dem Bones…just to clarify, when you say you are planning on taking summer classes are you taking them at the UC or your CCC? The reason I ask is because only the grades from the summer classes at the UC are transferred and included in your UC GPA, the summer classes you take at your CCC the units are transferable but not the grades</p>
<p>Yeah, I know only UC courses count for UC gpa. I just want the CCC summer credits transferred.</p>
<p>Dem Bones,</p>
<p>If you are eligible for the new Chapter 33 GI Bill do yourself a huge favor and don’t use your GI Bill this summer at a CC where your courses will probably only cost about $60 each.</p>
<p>Save it for the 09-10 school year when you’re at a UC and will collect a ridiculous amount more for tuition, books, and rent. </p>
<p>If you use GI Bill during the summer, it will run out before your 4 years (36 months) of school for your BA/BS is done. Just pay for the cheap CC summer courses out of pocket.</p>
<p>Send me a PM if you have questions about the Chapter 33 GI Bill.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>Well, Jim Webb’s G.I. Bill provides tuition and a $1400 a month living expense. Additionally it give a $1000 supplies grant per year. The old one just pays $1300 a month. I figure I’m only going to lose out on a couple hundred dollars by using a couple months up this summer, and I am going to need the money to help pay for moving expenses and living quarters for my start at which ever UC I am going to choose. Also, there is a waiver where people who have been on the old bill can get their benefits extended to 4 years. I need to inquire as to who is eligible for that waiver because the specifics on the Bill were a little unclear. The point is that I’ll sacrifice a couple hundred bucks later to get the money now. Plus I’ll be able to lighten my load at the UCs by knocking a few credits out this summer.</p>
<p>You actually don’t collect anything for tuition under the new bill. The payments are made directly from the government to the school when Webb’s G.I. Bill takes effect on Aug.1.</p>
<p>I understand how both bills work. I just want info on whether or not I need to notify the UCs any time soon about my intended summer credits.</p>
<p>I did the same thing, I didn’t plan on taking CCC courses during summer, but just in case I might want to now…I’m sure it won’t be a problem. Just send in your transcript after the summer classes are over. You could always e-mail them after you have picked out your classes.</p>
<p>Best of luck!^^</p>
