<p>I just talked to one of my friends who is going to Cal in fall as an EECS major. He said that at orientation they told him that he has to graduate in 4 semester and if he cannot he has to petition....anybody have any more info on this? this seems ridiculous. And anybody know if such a thing is in effect in the other UCs?</p>
<p>technically transfer students are supposed to be working on their major course work, so that time frame is not odd. each of the UCs I was accepted to this year (B,LA,SD) gave me an expected graduation date of spring 2008. I guess they expect you to be a full time student (think 16 units min. required per term) and graduate as soon as possible.</p>
