Change in Total Units Required for Graduation
Under 2003-05, 2001-03, and 2000-01 Catalogs

Students in the following majors will now be able to graduate with 180 units if they have met all of the graduation requirements other than 6 remaining units (or less) of free electives.

The following programs have either reduced their total units to 180 for the 2003-05 catalog or will reduce total units to 180 for the 2005-07 catalog. Blanket curriculum substitutions have been processed that allow retroactive reduction of total units for the 2003-05, 2001-03, and 2000-01 catalogs.

The unit reduction is accomplished by eliminating 6 units of free electives. All of these programs still have a minimum of 8 units of free electives. The substitutions are effective beginning with students graduating in Winter 2004.
