<p>@bearly, the ECs are not important. I don’t know your major or courses you have taken. CCC is the best route as long as you can fit in your requirements within the unit limitations. You may be able to do that easily - or you may not. Too many units can make you ineligible. Talk to a counselor, but in theory, go to assist.org and look at what courses you still need to take for your major and breadth. Then add those to your 45. That will give you a good ballpark. </p>
<p>Your preliminary question - can I go to CCC and transfer is yes, as long as the units are OK. Another option, I suppose, if your units are too high and you really want to go this route, is to consider switching majors.</p>
<p>If you did a lot of volunteering or were in leadership in high school, then I woukd say add it, but if it’s just minor stuff it won’t make much difference. </p>
