1.   Am I required to be a full time student? How many units do I need to be considered a full time student?

Full time status requires a minimum of 12 units. However, if you want to graduate in 4 years without attending summers you need to register for at least 15 units.
Full time status may be required for residence halls, Greek life, scholarships, financial aid and some health insurance plans.
Be sure to get detailed information before you drop below 12 units.

2.   A friend told me I can use my SAPR to plan my class schedule and register for classes and even use it to see requirements for other majors. Is that true?
Yes, it's true! Your SAPR is a great tool for planning your class schedule. In Section 2, your SAPR gives you a list of all UA courses that satisfy a given catalog requirement. When you request your SAPR, under "Display," click on "with links to (the semester or summer session you are planning)." Classes currently being offered are highlighted in the SAPR and linked to the Schedule of Classes.
At the top of the SAPR, under "View", click on "with links to" and select the semester or summer session. You may then select options which allow you to view only those classes with open seats, link to the Schedule of Classes or link to Web Reg.
Thinking about changing your degree program? The What-If SAPR lets you explore new programs and see which of the classes you've already taken will apply, as well as what the full requirements are for the new program.
Please remember, though, that the What-If SAPR is just a trial run-before changing colleges you'll still need the approval of the new college.

3.   Can I plan my class schedule to take classes only on certain days or at certain times?
Yes, you can use the Course Query Wizard in the on-line Schedule of Classes. This handy tool helps you locate available classes that mesh with your existing schedule. If you need a class that meets only on certain days or at certain times, or need to see a list of classes that don't conflict with those already on your schedule, the wizard can help you!
