is correct. Undergraduate major changes

Excess Unit/Enrollment Restrictions
— Undergraduate. Undergraduate stu-dents
are cautioned against registering for
more than 18 units without consulting
with an adviser, since more than 18 units
is generally considered to be an academic
overload. A limit of 16 units applies to
graduate students. See the Class Schedule

student must have an overall grade
point average of 2.5; for 20 to 22 units, a
student must have an overall grade point
average of 3.0. Exceptions to these limits
must be approved by the chair of the
student’s major department. An absolute
limit of 22 units (excluding credit by
examination units) is enforced and may
be waived only with the approval of the
dean of the college/school of the student’s
major.
An academic department may restrict
enrollment by requiring students to drop
a class if the student has been disqualified
from the major or the student has not
achieved a C average in the major or has
not met the stated course prerequisites.
This is especially true in academic areas
that are impacted or are in high demand.
Enrollment in upper-division courses is
normally restricted to students with ju-nior,
senior, or graduate standing or who
have the necessary prerequisites. Excep-tions
are subject to the approval of the
instructor and department chair. Only
students who have been fully approved
for admission to credential programs may
enroll in certain education courses and
qualify for a school service credential on
the basis of the university’s recommenda-tion.
