First Year Credits
Hey all,

So I emailed my academic advisor, who's currently fried, I guess, because her response made no sense whatsoever...so I'm gona try with you all instead...

I have a total of 46 first year credits (including my actual first year courses and some electives). I know that there's a limit to how many can count toward your graduation requirements. Does anyone know what this number is? I feel like I might've passed it a while back...and if I did I need more electives and I need to know this so I can fix it before I graduate obviously.


Thanks in advance!

Additional Calendar Information > General Academic Regulations > University Regulations > Limit on Level I Courses

Quote:
Limit on Level I Courses: In most Faculties, you may not obtain credit in more than 42 units of Level I courses in a three-level program, or more than 48 units in a four-level program.
I've always read this as, unless stated otherwise, this is the limit.

Yea that's probably a good thing. I'm actually in a 5 year program, but I get the feeling that no one really cares about that lol.
Thanks again tho!
