Meeting patterns will depend on the class. Students should review the meeting pattern and notes within the course details when selecting winter classes. Due to the compressed timeframe, students should expect these classes to be more rigorous and demanding.

Will classes require minimum enrollments to be offered?

Yes. Winter classes must meet minimum enrollment requirements. Students will be notified if classes fail to meet minimum enrollments.

How many units can I take during the spring term?

A student may register for a maximum number of units in a semester without permission based upon undergraduate/graduate status or academic standing (on alert or probation standing).  Find more information about the student load policy in Academic Program: Student Load in the UNI Catalog. If you wish to enroll above this maximum through your combination of winter plus regular spring units, you will need to submit a Student Request Form for approval to register for an overload. Students should talk with their advisor about course overload plans.
