What is the correct CSU Schedule?

Usually summer courses at a CC are 6-8 weeks long vs. regular semester classes of 15-16 weeks at CSUSM. If you have no prior background in Spanish, I would take it at CSUSM since you are already on campus for your other classes. Summer may be too intense for a beginner. You would be better off taking an easy GE at a CC in the summer.

14 units is about average. If you feel overwhelmed your first semester, you can always drop a class unless you financial aid specifies you need to maintain full-time status of 12 units or more.
Since you have 3 unit GE on you list, try to take something that would interest you. I have always found I tried harder and did better in classes that I was interested in taking not just required.

Best of luck to you.
