<p>I just noticed that I have “Credit limit deductions: 3.0” listed on my DPR. What does it mean and why?</p>

<p>"CREDIT DEDUCTIONS
There are two types of credit deductions listed on the DPR:
Unit Credit Limit - Units and grade points are deducted from your unit and grade point totals for an illegal repeat of a course, taking a course for which the student was not eligible to receive credit for taking the course, etc.</p>
<p>Sequence Restriction Deduction - Units and Grade Points are deducted for your unit and grade point totals for taking a course out of sequence–taking a course after having completed a more advanced course (e.g., taking Spanish 4 after having completed Spanish 5).
For an explanation of these credit deductions, please consult the General Catalog for the specific course in question. </p>
<p>If you have been granted a reprieve via petition from a Unit Credit Deduction (taking the same course twice which has different subject material) and a notation appears on your transcript as well as the DPR in the memoranda section, the Unit Credit Deduction will still be indicated on your DPR. However, at the point of graduation, a manual adjustment to your transcript record will restore the deducted units."</p>
<p>I took Cham 14A, B, C, and D. Now plan to take 14BL, is that out of sequence?</p>
<p>No. Lots of people take lab classes later so that shouldn’t be the problem. Are there any other classes that you took that might be duplicates? Or a class that was taken after a more advanced one?</p>
<p>I think I figured it out. I enrolled BL in Spring, I also enrolled BL in Summer, because I have not decided which one to drop. DPR smart enough to do the math so quick!</p>
