    Full time is usually 12 units and you need permission to take more than 18. Most classes are usually 3 credits. Sometimes language, math and science classes are 4 or 5 units. So, full time students take about 4 to 5 classes. Some universities have all 4 unit classes, 12 still being full time and most people take about 4 classes or 16 units.

    Additional response

    Usually 4 classes

    A semester is two quarters.

    A full year of school is two semesters or four quarters
