Enrolling from one UC to the other made easy with Cross-Campus Enrollment

Can you guys explain co-enrollment or dual enrollment? Is it only for UCLA? How much is it? And is it possible to start upper division classes this way after all GEs are completed and you're just waiting for the fall of your transfer year?

Cross-enrollment/Concurrent enrollment/Dual enrollment (in a nutshell): Without being formally admitted into the institution, you can take courses at a UC or CSU while taking courses at your home California Community College. You’ll be limited to one 

Oh no, this doesn’t just apply to UCLA; you can cross-enroll at virtually any CSU/UC. It’s actually codified in Section 66750-66754 of the California Education Code.

The tuition and fees will vary. There’s generally a $10 administration fee. For UCLA extension, it’ll be $30 per unit if you’re already enrolled at a CSU or California Community College.

It’s definitely possible to get started on your upper-division courses via cross-enrollment. However, there are a few things to be cognizant of:

Make sure the academic department at the UC you plan to attend will accept the courses you take via cross-enrollment to satisfy major requirements

You’re limited to a maximum of one cross-enrollment course per term

You’re responsible for other fees (e.g. lab materials, textbooks, parking permits)

I'm currently at ELAC and thinking of cross enroll @ PCC, what kinds of advice would you give me to survive the workload and such?

Workload is up to you, the individual, how much you can handle, and what kind of classes you will be taking. Obviously taking two math and two science classes in one semester will devastate all but the most determined student’s GPA.

With cross-enrollment, the trick is to schedule your classes right so that you don’t have to spend too much time commuting to and from the two schools. Ideally, your classes would be divided into blocks where you go to one school on, say, Tuesday and Thursday, and the other school on Monday and Wednesday.

Here’s a heads-up if you don’t want any problems with financial aid:

If you want to stay at full-time status, make sure you’re enrolled in at least 12 combined semester units at both schools. You must be enrolled in at least one unit at your home school (i.e. ELAC). If this is the case for you, go to the financial aid office at ELAC and ask for a consortium agreement form.

If you’re already going to be enrolled in 12 semester units at ELAC, don’t worry about the consortium agreement.

Hi I want to transfer to ucla as a polisci major but my school is missing two prereq classes so I'll be taking one of those two classes at a nearby cc but I'll still be missing one what do I do? :s

In order to be considered for the political science major at UCLA, you must complete at least 3 of the prerequisite requirements prior to the end of the spring semester before you transfer.

You can take your last required political science course during the spring. Cross-enroll if you can!

Complexion Complexities, AFR 302: Some notes about cross enrollment at Williams

So I'm taking my first ever class at Williams College this fall - an underutilized privilege of being a Bennington student. I'm all about absorbing as many types of education as possible, so I thought I'd keep a bit of a record of my time at Williams here on the ole' Bennington blog. 

So first of all, let's talk about my expectations:

Huge classes

Lecture-style

Impersonal relationships with professors

Underwhelming commentary from students

Emphasis on grades

Seriously, those were my expectations. I've become so Bennington since transferring from Columbia that I actually forgot we weren't the only institution capable of intimate and stimulating learning. Now, that school spirit is a wonderful thing, don't get me wrong, but what a weird perspective to have on the rest of the educational world! Not cool.

So here's what I actually found:

A class of 8 students

Round-table format (the table was literally round - the seats were cushy and beautiful on my behind)

Dynamic, powerful, honest, passionate, engaging, inquisitive professor who took the time to talk to me about my studies long after the class had ended

Engaged and committed students with thoughtful comments and questions to share

Emphasis on asking the tough questions and challenging our perceptions and social training

In conclusion, I <3 Williams - surprise! The class is called Complexion Complexities, and it focuses on Colorism and skin tone. How much cooler could a class be? I'm super pumped. More to come.

It needs to be Thursday already so I can see what class I can get at UCSB
