Balancing Work and Studies Because
most SF State students work while going to school, here
is some advice from current students about balancing the various
aspects of your life.
- Keep a reasonable course load: no more than 12 units for
undergraduates, about eight for graduate students.
- Despite the
wealth of possibilities that SF State offers, don't go
overboard with extracurricular activities.
- For every hour in class
instruction, expect to spend another
three or four hours to reading, writing, and research outside class.
For that reason, try not to work more than 20 hours a week.
- The
number one reason students are placed on academic probation
is that they had to work too many hours.
- Campus employers
recognize that you are a student first; in
setting your hours, they will try to work around your class
schedule.
