So eventually I want to transfer to UCLA for architectural studies as a junior. I have recently completed my first year of college at the University of Washington with quarter units. I have to come back to California for school due to family complications and I am going to attend Santa Monica College for one more year then trying to transfer. However, they seem to be a semester school, but have different options for 12-week terms and 8-week terms. I am confused what term to complete because I have 52 quarter credits and I don’t know how the semester credits will combine if I take semester classes.
