What’s the maximum number of units that can be studied each year for both options? What’s the minimum?

All students will be able to study eight courses per year, with options to study higher or lower loads depending upon their program plan and the chosen calendar option. A goal of the overall project is to ensure that there is greater ability for students to choose the number of courses to study and progress, within the context of their own life situation and preferences. More information will be shared with students regarding how many courses you can take per teaching term, once a decision is finalised.
