<p>So i got accepted and am wondering if the quarter system at UCLA would allow me graduate in a year and a half. I ask this due to financial reasons and don't want to spend too much time living in a dorm/living off of loans (plan on working less in order to focus on studying, parents unable to assist financially).</p>
<p>Great question - bump for ya.</p>
<p>take a full load in both summers and you should be able to grad by fall 11</p>
<p>You may graduate at any time, but commencement ceremonies are only in the Spring.</p>
<p>Ex: If you graduate Fall 2010, Winter 2011, Spring 2011, or Summer 2011, you will participate in the commencement ceremony for Spring 2011. If you graduate in Fall 2011, you will participate in Spring 2012 and so on.</p>
<p>There might be some petition you can sign if you graduate Fall 2011 and want to participate in Spring 2011, but I wouldn’t count on it. Note that a petition is needed if you graduate the summer after you participate in commencement, but it is easily attainable.</p>
