Budget cuts force 13-unit fall 2012 registration cap - Zien Halwani, Daily 49er

An initial enrollment period will limit Cal State Long Beach students to a 13-unit fall 2012 course load, because the Cal State University system faces the threat of a $200 million reduction in state support. Continuing students will be permitted to register for 13 units during the university’s self-service registration period beginning April 9 but they will not be allowed to pick up additional units until August. Exceptions will be made for seniors graduating fall 2012 on a case-by-case basis. Self-service registration dates will — like always — vary for students based on class standing and units completed, meaning some but not all students will be able to register as early as April 9.
