Being enrolled in 12 units is only part of being a UC Merced student. You will need to take more than 12 units in some semesters to be on track to graduate in four years.
Most students take 14-16 units each semester.
You should plan to complete at least 30 units each year to meet normal progress to degree at UC Merced.
Talk with your BAC advisor if you have questions about the number of units you should take each semester.
NOTE : Waitlisted units do NOT count toward full-time status.
