Open Studies
- As an Open Studies student, you're eligible to take university credit courses, without being admitted into a degree program.
-
Open Studies students can take a maximum of 36 units overall (about 12 classes, or 2 years of full time coursework)
- Students who do not have a degree can take up to 12 units (4 courses) per term for the fall and winter terms, and up to 6 units (2 courses) per term for the spring and summer terms.
- Degree-holding students can take up to 18 units (about 6 courses) per term for the fall and winter terms, and up to 9 units (3 courses) per term for the spring and summer terms.
If you are currently in Open Studies and would like to switch to a degree program, you will need to submit a new application.
Students applying to a degree program who've completed 12 or more units (about 4 courses) of post-secondary coursework will be evaluated as a transfer applicant. Most Open Studies students will apply to programs through this path, and they'll need to meet a program's transfer requirements to be admitted. Please see our website for more details.
