How many units do people usually take a quarter at the UCs?

<p>1 prereq + 15 upper divs = 16 classes (64 units); 180 needed units - 64 planned units = 116 of undergrad units needed to graduate; 116 - 105 DeAnza units = 11 units of undergraduate courses to do. So this means I have to take 3 more courses, bringing the total to 19 courses to graduate UCSD. Taking 3 classes per quarter, it would take me 6 quarters + 1 class in the summer. </p>

<p>Thanks Malishka31, this cleared a lot of things up. I get to tell my parents they have to pay for 1 more quarter of schooling for me tonight, nicccce. Good thing it's shrimp and steak night.</p>

<p>I've been going to UCSB for almost two years now (quarter system).</p>

<p>12 units are needed to be a full time student.</p>

<p>16 is what people usually take (4 classes X 4 units per class)</p>

<p>15 is what you need per quarter to graduate w/in 4 years (what you can do though is take 17 fall, 16 winter, 12 spring units which adds up to the same amt. but is nice if you want an easy spring quarter for example).</p>

<p>I am likely going to take 15 units my first quarter at UCLA. Luckily most of my English courses that I have seen are 5 units so taking three courses will not be that bad. One of my younger professors who went to UCLA within the last 10 years told me not to overload myself the first quarter because it will likely take a little bit of time to get used to the greater workload/harder grading criteria. If I can excel at that then I might up my units. But to each their own. :)</p>

<p>Hey can someone clear up this issue for me.. I don't understand the lab units part.</p>

<p>I know a UC course is 4 units but is the lab part included and how many pts would the lab be if it is separated? I see the pre-req's for UCLA chem has "one year of general chemistry with lab for the major" So how many units would that be?</p>
