Q: How many courses/units do people take per quarter?

Full-time students generally take 8-10 units per quarter, which usually amounts to three or four classes. All full-time students are required to take at least 8 units except for their last quarter, and tuition becomes more expensive if you take more than 10 units.

50% RAs and CAs are limited to 10 units but there is no upper limit otherwise.

Part-time (HCP) students generally only take one or two classes per quarter.
