Course planning recommendations

● 12 units is considered to be full-time status (typically 3 courses).

○ Each course is typically 4.0 units.

● When coming to a university on the quarter system, keep in mind…

○ the pace will most likely be much faster than the institution you’re coming from - try your best

to stay on top of studying and assignments!

○ the course structure may be different - many classes at UCSD only have 1 midterm and 1

final contributing to your final grade, which can make it more difficult to make up any points

lost

○ you will most likely need to increase your study time

○ UCSD will be a completely new environment and culture that may take some getting used

to, don’t overdo it the first quarter

What is the difference between upper and lower division courses?

● Lower division courses are numbered 1-99.

● Upper division courses are numbered 100-199.

Students must have at least junior standing (90.0 + units) to enroll in upper division courses.

If you would like to request pre-authorization to enroll in upper division courses prior to being junior standing you can submit a request at:
