Minimum unit load after filing for TAG? (UCSD)

I’m a student at Foothill College working on my TAG form for UC San Diego. I’m not sure I’ll be able to get an appointment with a counselor before the deadline (hence the questions here), but I am sure I meet the minimum requirements (3.98 GPA, 92 transferable quarter units completed at 2-year-college level only, IGETC completed).

But I was wondering about the future terms section. I plan to be full-time (12+ units) for my remaining three quarters, but I’ve overheard one student saying that the minimum is 15 units per quarter regardless of the number of units already completed. Is this true?

Also, how thoroughly do I need to fill out that section/how detrimental is it if I don’t end up taking every ‘planned’ course? I think I’ll be able to complete the lower division prep requirements, but the future course schedules haven’t been released yet, so conflicts could always arise.

I’m probably worrying too much, but it seems better to be safe than sorry.
