@pgn1005 You are confusing units and credits. If you want to be a biosci major then you need credit for taking all the prerequisite classes to be admitted into the major. The UC schools will give you credit for every transferable class you take. Units are something that counts towards the total you need towards graduation. So if you’ve hit the unit transfer cap and then take this class it will still do what you need even if it doesn’t put you closer towards UCI graduation.

But as @ProfessorPlum168 has pointed out, before you can do this you need to get permission for concurrent enrollment. And even assuming they give it, if you are thinking about med school then they will see you ducked taking physics at UCI and may very well deny you just for that reason. Same with any other grad school.
