<p>LeCavalier, it definitely depends on your major. I came in with 6 quarters of elective credit. My major (English) has relatively few requirements, and elective credit plays a heavy role. Every student needs 42 credits to graduate. Since I came in with 6, I had to complete 36. Taking 4 classes for 3/4 quarters and 0 classes over the summer quarter, I am technically able to graduate this spring (a full year early). Now, different majors have different requirements (obviously) and it might be more advantageous to take a class one year as opposed to another. It’s difficult to say for sure that if you enter with x amount of classes you’ll be able to graduate early, but if you talk with your counselor early on it most likely will be an option for you (supposing you came in with a lot of credit).</p>
