Can I transfer from community college to 4 yr college in more than 2 yrs?

I’m trying to transfer to a 4 year college (UCLA or UCs) from a community college. I know usually it takes 2 years to transfer while meeting up with required courses. However, due to my financial situation it may take me more than 2 years to transfer. I have to work and attend. Also I have rested couple of semesters as well for private reasons. So, lets say it took me 4 years to satisfy my courses, will I be able to transfer then? Is it ever too late to transfer? I know there are financial help but I’m just curious.

No problem with that, people do it all the time and there’s nothing unusual about it. “Too late” depends on the school but I’ve never seen anything less than 10 years of course credit still being valid. In most cases there are no restrictions however.

Simply put, YES it’s possible to transfer from a community college to a 4 year college or university. And yes, it’s easier to do it upon graduation because you’ve actually earned the degree and have met many of the requirements. But you don’t actually need to complete the full 2 years of community college.

A year of college study is sufficient enough for many 4 year institutions. What they really want to see if that you can satisfactorily handle college-level work. A year or more demonstrates this.

The department offices of most community colleges have requirements for some local 4 year schools. This helps match-up which classes are transferrable to this school or another. You can also contact the department at the 4 year school where you’ll be transferring to see what they’ll take from the community college. Some classes transfer, others do not. And some schools require certain classes be taken at their school. So you may have to repeat some classes if that’s the case.

It’s never too late to transfer. This is especially true within the California system, where there are specific UC-eligibility rules. If you meet them, you’ll be admitted to a UC, although perhaps not the one of your choice.

while you’re in basic terms staying in a community college for 2 years, you will probable in basic terms get your GE carried out once you circulate to an college. except you’re previous to different freshmans.
