120 units, 3 years?

The AP credit units increase your class standing but don’t affect either declaring majors or when you must graduate. The L&S cap on units - that anyone who goes beyond 8 semesters and has more than 130 units can’t register for any further semesters, whether ready to graduate or not - does not include the AP derived units. Also the rule that one must declare a major before reaching junior standing does not include AP credits in the calculation of the standing.

Thus, you could be a junior based on AP units, get preferential telebears times, but still be a sophomore or freshman based on actual college course units and delay declaring your major.

You can declare early if you have the pre-reqs out of the way, but you won’t have to declare any earlier than when you finish 60 units of college classes.
