Unit limit exceeded for appointment period
Unit limit exceeded for appointment period
What you see
Possible solutions:
Leave this class in your shopping cart and add it when the unit limit is increased to 19 units.
Undergraduate, graduate, and post-baccalaureate students have an enrollment limitation of 17 units until the unit cap increases to 19 units (see the activities & deadlines calendar for the date each semester). This limitation does not apply to credential students.
If adding this class would put your semester units over 19, but you need to take it to graduate, you may Petition to Raise Unit Cap beyond 19 units.
Due to their academic standing, some students are limited to enrolling in no more than 12 units. Advisors cannot change units for these students. These students should contact the Office of the Registrar, SBS 133, for information on their unit limit.
