UNIT LOAD LIMITATIONS
Twelve units is the minimum number of units required for classification as a full- time student. A normal class load will be 12-17 units.
New students may not exceed a maximum of 21.5 units during their first quarter of enrollment at De Anza without the approval of the dean of Counseling.
Continuing students may enroll in more than 21.5 units (including physical education and labs) if they have met the following conditions:
■ Completed a minimum of 18 units in the preceding quarter at De Anza
■ Have not withdrawn from more than one class in the preceding quarter and
■ Completed the preceding quarter with at least a 3.0 GPA
Students meeting the above criteria who wish to enroll in more than 21.5 units must petition through their counselor. Petitions will not be considered before the first day of classes. Students who do not meet the criteria may petition the dean of Counseling for an exception to this policy.
Summer Sessions
During summer sessions, students may enroll in a maximum of 15 units including physical education classes and labs associated with courses.
■ To exceed the 15-unit limit, students must meet with a counselor to complete the special petition form.
■ Students must have completed a minimum of 18 units in the preceding quarter, not withdraw from more than one class, and have at least a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for a unit overload.
UNSATISFACTORY WORK
When a student persistently neglects class assignments or has excessive absences, the instructor may drop the student from the class or assign a nonpassing grade. Students may also be assigned a nonpassing grade for violating De Anza’s published Academic Integrity policies.
