I just realized I'm in only 12 units... Why isn't this a problem?

<p>I produced a DARS audit and was surprised that Math 16B is only 2 units for me. Apparently, this is because I took Math 1A last year. Previously I thought I was enrolled in 13 units, since that what it lists on my class schedule in BearFacts, and on TeleBears. The only place I see "12 units" is on DARS.</p>

<p>This hasn't been a problem at all. No emails or warnings or anything. Financial aid works like a charm.</p>

<p>What should I do? I'm afraid this will hurt my Haas application. Can anyone comment on how this will look for Haas admissions? I'm freaking out!</p>

<p>uhmm, you should have been enrolled in 13 units like 2 weeks ago…i’m not sure what is going to happen. maybe you should talk to the administration or whatever. best of luck.</p>

<p>I was told they will give you a warning the first semester under 13 units and that if you do it again you will become part time student or something like that</p>

<p>I did something similar. Your transcript will say you took 12 units this semester, but for now you are considered 13 units still and will be full-time. Nothings wrong.</p>

<p>Don’t know if it will hurt your Haas application, but how it didn’t affect your Financial Aid is probably the most important. You’ll want to check up on that so they don’t sneak any fees…</p>

<p>they’ll send you an email saying dont do it again</p>

<p>or you won’t be allowed to register for the semester after your last one - the big consequence is that they block future undergrad registration. tsk tsk</p>

<p>Well I haven’t gotten any emails, and my financial aid has been just fine, no problems.</p>

<p>maybe it doesn’t count since Math 16B is technically 3 units, and on TeleBears/BearFacts, it says I’m in 13 units, not 12.</p>

<p>rider730: you’re saying that I just wouldn’t be able to stay a 9th semester?</p>

<p>rider, what happens if future registration is blocked? how do you clear such a block?</p>

<p>If you get into the business major, you have four semesters from then to graduate. If the consequence of only getting credit for 12 units is that you are “behind” in units relative to your semesters, then you will have to overload later to graduate within the allotted number of semesters.</p>

<p>no, I was saying something more trivial - that if Spring 12 is your final semester and you will be earning a degree in May, then the school may block your registration for Fall 12 because you don’t have 13 units in Spring, but you won’t be here to register in Fall anyway, so it is moot. in other words, no teeth at all if it happens for your last semester. </p>

<p>I highly doubt that Haas could even see that there had been or is a block on registration. Unless they put it there themselves, usually those blocks are an enforcement method to collect payments or force a student to file some form, and the only one that cares is the department that was already annoyed because you hadn’t paid/filed a form/followed some process they requested. These things happen for many reasons, some legit like outside problems with financial aid, therefore not an issue for Haas. </p>

<p>The block on registration just stops you from using telebears to register for classes. You find out who blocked it - usually you get an email or know the problem, like being a month behind on paying tuition or something. You go to the department that blocked you - maybe the finance office - settle up or make an arrangement, then they lift the block. Magically the next day you can use telebears. </p>

<p>It is not like a conviction that stains your record, it is a temporary ‘spur’ to drive you to address something they want addressed. As such, it is yesterday’s news that nobody cares about once removed.</p>

<p>oh i see. i am just worried cause i got warned by l&s for going under cap last semester and this semester i’d be under cap again. (LOL this is separate from my financial block)</p>

<p>thanks for the info though.</p>

<p>PS: just read your other reply. that really helped. thank you for the taking the time to answer my concern.</p>

<p>damn dude. you already got warned once? flirting with trouble eh Austin Powers</p>

<p>i just totally forgot about it until i dropped the class. so lame =(</p>
