What is considered full-time study during Summer Sessions?
For visiting international students, enrollment in 8 units constitutes full-time study. Where financial aid is concerned, students need to be enrolled in a minimum of half-time (6 units for undergraduates, 4 units for graduates) in order to be eligible for summer aid. Some undergraduate programs (Federal Pell Grant, ACG, SMART Grant and Summer University Grant) require enrollment in 12 units to receive full eligibility. The Financial Aid Office will review all units at the end of the third week of each UCLA Summer Session in order to determine final eligibility for summer aid. Students who are not enrolled in the required number of units will be billed. Students should be aware that they are responsible for accurately reporting their unit load to Financial Aid. A student who changes the unit load may incur penalties. For more information, visit the Financial Aid Web site.
