<p>I’m only taking 3 classes fall quarter (4 units per class) so that’s only a whopping 12 units. Is this okay, or am I pushing it? I feel kinda bad because everyone else is taking 4-5 classes, even though I know I shouldn’t compare myself to them. I don’t really want to take a freshman seminar either.</p>
<p>Also, what’s the minimum amount of units to be considered a full time student? </p>
<p>Any input is appreciated =)</p>
<p>I'm taking 3 classes, plus a freshman seminar for a total of 13 units. You need 12 to be considered a full time student, but you need 13 to be in good standing.</p>
<p>Just suck it up and get 1 extra unit :P</p>
<p>you really should consider adding another unit. there are other ways besides a freshman seminar. you could try a PE class which is 1/2 a unit or tractor driving.</p>
<p>I took 12 my first quarter. But then my other quarters freshman year I took 16 and 15.. brining up my average to above 13 per quarter.</p>
<p>12 is the minimum to be full time. But for 'minimum progress' you need to average at least 13/quarter.</p>
<p>First, is there a reason to limit your time in class? Are you commuting or working a job that requires you off campus?</p>
<p>Are you not taking a class because you are not interested in anything else? Perhaps there is a sport or some other class that might expand your interest area. That is something you want to have happen at college.</p>
<p>I took a writing class that changed my approach to writing and was not part of my major or required classes. I also took a fencing class once...just to see what it was all about.</p>
<p>Find another class if you can, but if you don't look for other activities at school that will expand your understanding of the world. Good Luck.</p>
<p>As others have mentioned, please make sure you are meeting the Minimum Progress requirements. More information can be found at <a href="http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/update/%5B/url%5D">http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/update/</a></p>
