Full time load - 3 or 4 subjects per semester? (1 Viewer)

[demonduckofdoom]

Can you be considered a full time student if you only take 3 subjects a semester? When I was at UTS, 3-4 subjects was a full time study load for the semester,and I took 3 subjects a semester and was considered a full time student.
The handbook says "At UNSW, a normal full-time enrolment for one year is defined as 48 units of credit (24 per semester).", so am wondering if I could possibly take 3 subjects this semester, or I have to take 4?

Thanks guys.

Full time student is at least 24 uoc. Unless UNSW have three 8 uoc courses (they don't) you can enrol in, then no.

18uoc is the minimum. You can do 3 subjects. I did this last semester.

18uoc for full time load?

Nope, taking 18UOC is still considered a full time student but you will graduate later/ you have to take summer classes. However, most full-time students take 24uoc.

Hmm, I am corrected.

My bad.

Oh excellent! Thanks dotslikeme, must've missed that part of the handbook I honestly don't mind finishing later/taking summer school. I burned out with 4 subjects/semester, but I did great with 3.
