If she has 85 credits, I am assuming she was a transfer to UCR or did she come into UCR with a lot of AP credit?
Just moving back to home would not give her priority. She needs to be attend a local CC to get priority. Also the CSU’s will cap the # of transferable units at 70 and give her subject credit for the excess, so she would lose some of those credits. She would be better off finishing her degree at UCR especially since she is doing so well academically.
Although this link is for SJSU to UCR, it should give you some information about the process: http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/artic/UCR/template-22.html
