<p>I am a transfer and not completely sure on this unit cap rule. If I were to complete my 5th semester at CAL and have a total of 129 units, am I allowed to come back for a 6th semester and take a 13-15 unit courseload? I would have completed all major requirements by the end of the 5th semester; however, I would like to earn a minor, which I have already declared. </p>

<p>I'm assuming I would have to manipulate my schedule so that I finish with 129 at the end of the 5th sem. and not even one higher to stay for a 6th. Correct?</p>

<p>Also, would I still get financial aid during the 6th sem?</p>

<p>Thx.</p>

<p>I am 90% sure that you are correct regarding the unit load.</p>

<p>Not sure at all about the financial aid part.</p>

<p>You can’t declare a minor. You file a petition for completing it in your last semester.</p>
