(Note: For Summer Session or for Intersession, NO excess unit’s authorization is available—beyond the 7.0 units
allowed for all students.)

Semester and MyWeb will not allow the total units (for both terms) to exceed 18.0 units, student does not need to

additional courses to be added—up to 7.0 units for Intersession and up to 18.0 units for Regular Spring Semester.)
