I am currently trying to transfer into a UC after spending a year at an out of state university (Ohio State) then a year at a CCC. I also have a bunch of AP credit on my transcript and as far as I understand it doesn’t count toward the unit cap for transfer (which is usually 70. 60 is the required minimum).

Set up an appointment with a counselor at your local CC and they will be able to evaulate your out of state transcript and see what will apply to IGETC. They can also help you figure out what classes you need to take to finish your requirements so you don’t waste time with unecessary stuff.

Every UC is NOT different as far as fulfilling IGETC goes. The CCC is responsible for IGETC certification, and they can decide to some degree what counts and what doesn’t. UCs are different as far as what courses they accept for credit, but you don’t really need to sweat that. If your major is not impacted, 60 units and IGETC is all you need.

To get credit for AP at a UC, I think you have to resend your AP score directly; they will ignore the testing credit.

It seems like you are deathly afraid of not graduating in four years. I had the same hang-ups when I moved here, but I decided being a little “behind” was worth it to go to a good school.

hope that helped…
