Part-time registration of less than nine units is permitted only after a student has been admitted to candidacy. Rosemead does not admit part-time students to its degree programs. A unit of credit is generally considered to consist of one class hour (SO minutes) a week for a semester. In physical education activities, laboratory sessions and in a few other instances, a unit of credit may involve more than one class period a week. Generally an undergraduate student is limited to 17 units of class room work a semester. After the first semester a student with a grade point average of 3.0 may petition the Office of the Registrar to carry 19-20 units. In no case will a student be permitted to carry more than 20 units each semester.
