<p>First: CCC students get priority over UC students not just because of a law or regulation. If you think about it, if a CCC student does not get into a 4 year university then they would not be able to do upper division work. While a student already at a 4 year university will be able to do upper division work even if they unable to transfer.</p>
<p>Second: [University</a> of California - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer.html)</p>
<p>Each UC have their individual policies. However, the University of California Regents and their associated officals make policy that every UC has to follow. </p>
<p>“While UC gives California community college students first priority over other transfer applicants, the University also accepts those from four-year institutions.” -UC (Systemwide)</p>
