4 semesters minimum for MATH 100 onward
MATH 100 through MATH 103: 4 courses, each needing the one before, so 4 semesters minimum. Start MATH 100 in your first semester. Placing higher shortens it.
Ohlone semesters, UCI quarters
Ohlone runs on semesters and UCI on quarters. Your units convert when you transfer, one semester unit to 1.5 quarter units, and anything left runs on UCI's quicker quarter schedule.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
1 UCI requirement has no Ohlone match
Ohlone lists no course for the I&C SCI 31, I&C SCI 32, I&C SCI 33 sequence. Check UCI's Computer Science page for whether it has to be done before you transfer, and plan where you'll cover it.
Start with MATH 100 and CS 102
MATH 100 and CS 102 sit at the start of their sequences for this route, so they fit your first semester, next to ENGL C1000 for English composition.
What UCI looks for
Requires a B or better in two terms of calculus, a year of programming in one object-oriented language, and one more approved course. Minimum GPA is 3.0.
