Open Campus concurrent students can take the following number of units per quarter without special arrangements:
- Twelve (12) quarter units
- Five (5) quarter units if you are an UCSC undergraduate taking your last class to graduate
If you plan to take courses that exceed the limits noted above, you must submit the Petition to Exceed Unit Maximum to the Open Campus office with your application. This petition is available on the Forms page of this Web site or from the Student Services office at UCSC Extension. The petition must be approved prior to registration in a class, or classes, that exceed the unit limitation.
Some colleges and universities may limit the number of transfer credits. It is important to contact the institution you plan to apply to prior to enrolling in Open Campus classes.
Former UCSC students taking Open Campus concurrent courses for credit toward readmission to UCSC should consult with the academic advisor of their school or the dean's office of their college before enrolling in Open Campus concurrent courses.
Prospective graduate students are advised to contact the graduate program advisor before enrolling in courses to be applied to a graduate degree.
