<p>I'm a current third year, but I've planned out my classes, and I want to take a 9th semester to work it all in. I can graduate in the standard four years, but I want to stay a little longer regardless. </p>

<p>Does one have to apply to attend for a 9th semester, even if one has completed all degree requirements? On the other hand, if I plan so that I don't complete all degree requirements by the end of four years, can I stay on one more semester without having to do any special application?</p>

<p>130-Unit Maximum after Eight Semesters</p>

<p>If you stay in college more than eight semesters, you may not continue beyond the semester in which you complete more than 130 units.</p>

<p>(i think that as long as you are within 130 units in 8 semesters you should be able to just stay right? i think only if you have more than 130, you might have to file a petition to stay for a ninth-not positive though but i thought i would just give my 2 cents since theres no other replies to this thread yet)</p>

<p>Thanks for the link Waiting, I’m actually only ‘single’ majoring, but there are about 12 interesting, yet heavy duty, classes I want to take before I graduate. I only need 4 to finish the program, but I’m in no rush to leave.</p>
