Advising-Related Forms for Coterms
Transferring courses between degrees
Policies related to moving units between the undergraduate and graduate careers can be found on the Coterm Course Transfer Page.
Coterminal Course Transfer Form
It is smart to submit this form before you petition to graduate. Individual departments may have earlier deadlines so make sure you are communicating with the graduate departmental advisor. The registrar’s office will not accept any transfer submissions, changes, or corrections after 5 PM on the deadline date. The deadline is the same day as the late application deadline for the quarter in which you are petitioning to graduate.
Exceeding Units
If you are in the undergraduate billing group and wish to take more than 20 units, you still need to request an exception to exceed 20 units even if axess allows the enrollment without permission. If you exceed 20 units without approval to do so, you will have an enrollment hold added.
Because you have two careers, the system allows you to enroll in more than 20 units if you are adding units to both careers. However, you need to submit a request for exemption to exceed maximum units.
If you are in the graduate billing group, you may enroll in up to 24 units without submitting a form, though such a high unit count is generally discouraged.
For more information on how to change or check your billing group, see the Coterm Tuition Assessment Page.
The Request for Exception to Exceed Maximum Units form can be found on this webpage. The form requires an Academic Advisor's signature. Your Undergraduate Advising Director, UAD for Student-Athletes, or the UAD for Coterminal Advising can sign this form.

Leave of Absence
You must petition for leave in both programs if the undergraduate degree is still open.

Note that you must complete the graduate degree within three years from matriculation.
