Course Load
The normal semester
load is 15 units. Students with regular admission status who
are not on academic probation may take as many as 18 units. Students
on academic probation are normally limited to 12 units.
Permission to enroll in excess
of 18 units is granted only when unusually high scholarship and
urgent need prevail. Counselors can approve a student request
to take 19 to 21 units. Students who wish to take 22 or more
units may obtain a petition for this purpose in the Counseling
Center.
The student who desires to
be a candidate for graduation in two years must carry an average
of 15 units per semester. The following classifications have
been established:
Freshman - fewer than 30 units completed
Sophomore - 30 or more units completed
A maximum total of 11 units
may be taken during the entire 10-week summer session, with no
more than 4 units in 4-week length courses and no more than 7
units in 6-week length courses.
Students who work are urged
to be realistic in balancing the number of academic units undertaken
in view of outside hours of work. Normally, each unit undertaken
requires two hours of outside study for each hour of class lecture.
