Limit on freshman seminars?

[Mysterius]

<p>I’ve read that you can only take a maximum of 4 freshman seminars over the course of your college years, but I’m wondering how strict that rule is.</p>

<p>For example, the general catalog states:</p>

<p>[Freshman</a> Seminar Program](<a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/catalog/curric/FRES.html]Freshman”>http://www.ucsd.edu/catalog/curric/FRES.html)

Enrollment is limited to twenty students per seminar, with preference given to entering freshmen, and up to four seminars may be taken for credit.

</p>

<p>So, does that imply that more seminars could be taken as non-credit?
Since seminars are taken mostly for fun anyways, the credit side doesn’t really bother me. </p>

<p>Has anyone tried to take more seminars?</p>

<p>Perhaps they’ll at least let you sign up later if there are still empty spots available?</p>

<p>Well… only a certain amount of your GPA can be pass/fail. I can’t remember the percentage, but I don’t see why you’d want to take more than 4 freshman seminars anyways. 1 unit of pass/no pass :O</p>

<p>I would suppose it’s flexible, put in place only so that some students wouldn’t monopolize the service.</p>
