Students need to have completed a total of at least 12 units in the timeframe up to and including the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th year following the first term of entry in the cohort with preceding summer term enrollment treated like fall term enrollment at any California community college.
In the new SCFF, it is required that the 12 or more units are earned in the district in the selected year prior to transfer.
For students who have taken a mixture of classes at colleges on semester and quarter systems, quarter units will be multiplied by 2/3 to equate to semester units for colleges on semesters, and semester units will be multiplied by 3/2 to equate to quarter units for colleges on quarters
