Fullerton & UCI maximum unit info

LSU Senate Academic Affairs

Cal State University, Fullerton, 2005-2007 catalog

http://www.fullerton.edu/catalog/university_regulations/univreg.asp

Maximum Number of Units
Undergraduate students' requests to enroll for more than 19 units in the fall or spring semester must be approved by the student' s adviser and the department chair of the major. If such requests are denied, appeals may be made to the appropriate college dean. (Undeclared majors must receive the approval of the director of Academic Advising Services.) The minimum full-time program is 12 units.

Consistent with university policy for the fall and spring semesters, the following individual student enrollment limits are assigned for summer (YRO) sessions:

  • No more than seven units in any five- or six-week session, or
  • No more than nine units in an eight-week session, or
  • No more than twelve units in a ten-week session, or
  • No more than sixteen units in the entire summer (YRO) term

A student whose academic record justifies a study list in excess of the normal may request to be allowed to enroll for extra units. Request forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Records. In general, only students with superior academic records are allowed to enroll for more than the maximum. In addition, the need to enroll for the extra study must be established. Factors such as time spent in employment or commuting, the nature of the academic program, extracurricular activities and the student's health should be considered in planning a study program.

The minimum and maximum units of a full-time program of study for graduate

students are defined in the “Graduate Regulations” section of this catalog.

Refer to the Reduced-Fee Part-Time Study Program section.

Some Blog Basics

So far, we have not had much success with this blog as a forum for discussion. In part, this may be because some do not understand blogs and how to use them. Maybe the following blog basics will help.

1. Visit the blog regularly by clicking on
http://lsu-sen-acaff.blogspot.com/ For easy access you may copy this link to your desktop or save it as a bookmark.

2. This blog will consist of posts or initial messages or materials uploaded by blog members for other members to read and potentially react to and comments that members make on the posts.

3. You will probably start by commenting on posts made by others. To add a comment to an existing post, click on "comments" under the post, type your comments, and click "Login and Publish." Your comments will be published along with others.

4. To add a new post, click on "BlogThis!" on the top of the page. This will open a window where you type your message. You can also add a title in the box at the top. The default title is "Inland Consort." You can delete that from the box and in the message area. When you are finished, click on "Publish Post." Your message will be published as the latest post in the blog. You may use the symbols on the top left of the message window to make your text bold, italicized, or both or to add a different color to the font. You can also spell check your message by clicking on the symbol with abc and the check mark. Ironically, when I spell checked this message the program did not know the word "blog" or any of related forms!

5. If you are logged in to the blog, you can edit your profile by clicking on your name listed among the Contributors or members on the top right of the main page. This will open your profile page. If you click on "EDIT YOUR PROFILE," you can change the way your name is displayed, add a picture of yourself, etc.

6. If you want to create your own blog, you may click on "GET YOUR OWN BLOG" on the top of the main blog page. This takes you to the Dashboard, where you can click on "Create a Blog" and follow the instructions.

Happy blogging!
