■Notes:
<For EDP students>
For the courses you took for extra course registration, the grading will be done during that semester. However, the credits you earn for extra course registration will be counted as credits you earn for the semester you are re-enrolled in. In other words, if you take 4 credits of Winter quarter course, you are able to take 16 credits the following Spring semester. Taking many courses for extra course registration will limit the number of credits you are able to take afterwards, so please consider carefully.
