<p>Is is true that if one transfers to another university, there is a set time limit on how much time given (like 2 years) to complete the requirements for the major and graduate...?</p>
<p>I ask this because I am looking to transfer to another 4 year university and I don't want to feel rushed to complete my major.</p>
<p>they give you some leeway (spelling?) in how long you take. in Cal, you can take a extra semester for whatever reason. I would suggest looking into the policies at wherever you want go.</p>
<p>It also depends on your situation in regards to taking extra time. Is it b/c of the number of classes? Are you double majoring? etc. I believe you need a valid reason. Not sure though.</p>
<p>depends on the school, but usually it is not a time limit as much as a UNIT limit. If you have X amount of units completed you are expected to graduate and move on. Just about all schools have a MAX on the number of units you can take.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your responses! </p>
<p>With regards to maximum units:
Are unit limits imposed so people won't take "empty" units as filler...? What happens when the maximum amount of units is reached, and there are still requirements to fulfill></p>
<p>There's a physics major at UCLA who is going into his 6th year and trying to delay it as long as possible. The guy is brilliant, was always that way since we were kids. But he's just enjoying his time here and having as much fun as possible before heading out to the real world.</p>
<p>I was told about a 2.5 year time limit. But I don't think that will be the case. Its just a scare tactic to get you to overload on units and out of school so someone else can get in. For the most part, as long as you're working towards a degree, UCLA won't kick you out and i'd say its most likely the same way for most schools.</p>
