<p>as an incoming transfer student, if my units this semester is 12.5 below full time 13 units, what will happen? Thanks.</p>
<p>You would be considered a part-time student. This is generally problematic if you require financial aid since (so far as I know) you need to be a full time student to get aid.</p>
<p>The minimum for financial aid is twelve units. This is from the website:</p>
<p>“You are expected to attend full time. At Berkeley that is 12 units for financial aid purposes.”</p>
<p>Well, there’s also this: [Courseload</a> Regulations - Office Of The Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.berkeley.edu/courseloadregs.html]Courseload”>http://registrar.berkeley.edu/courseloadregs.html)</p>
<p>Right, but I was responding to the comment regarding financial aid. 12 units is what is required to receive aid. I know this because my son is currently registered for 12 units and has received full financial aid.</p>
<p>[UC</a> Berkeley Financial Aid Office: Undergraduates Maintaining Eligibility](<a href=“http://students.berkeley.edu/finaid/undergraduates/eligibility.htm]UC”>http://students.berkeley.edu/finaid/undergraduates/eligibility.htm)</p>
<p>
Keep in mind though, your son is in CoE, so his unit minimum is 12, while for L&S it is 13.</p>
<p>still doesnt affect financial aid. It does, however, cause problems in status as a registered full time student.</p>
