Summer School - Course Load
Hey what is the maximum number of courses I can take in summer (I heard 4... two for each term..) and can anyone recommend if it's a good idea or not to take 4? not really thinking of doing 4 but just wondering... thanks!

It's 6 units per term. I took 7 units last sumer in one term and had to get special permission for a course overload (in engineering).

Yep, 6 units per term as far as I know. If you're going to work full time they suggest that you take no more than 3 units a term because you're basically completing 4 months worth of a course in half the time.

Aaand it's not all that easy...especially if you have a reading-intensive course.
