Can I apply for reduced course load twice?

If your qualifying circumstances will affect future terms or semesters, you will need to speak with your DSO and obtain permission during each term you wish to reduce your course load. This is because a reduced course load authorization can only apply to one term or semester at a time.

When I am eligible to request a reduced course load for academic difficulty?

If you are having initial academic difficulties, a temporary illness or a medical condition, or need fewer than a full course load (12 units) in your last term to complete your program of study, you may qualify for a reduced course load (RCL).

Is 80% course load full-time?

Consider your course load. To be a full time student, you may take: 5 COURSES/TERM = 30 CREDIT HOURS (100% course load) 4 COURSES/TERM = 24 CREDIT HOURS (80% course load) 3 COURSES/TERM = 18 CREDIT HOURS (60% course load) 2 COURSES/TERM or less is considered part time.

What is the definition of course load?

noun. : the total of high school or college courses someone is taking. I have a light/full course load this semester.

What is medical reason for reduced course load?

A Medical Reduced Course Load permits F-1 and J-1 students to reduce their course load below full-time (or, if necessary, not enroll in any courses) due to a students temporary illness or medical condition. A maximum of 12 months of Medical Reduced Course Load is possible per degree level.
