Are there a specific amount of credits that the 2+2 undergraduate students need to complete before they are allowed to graduate?  (請問學校是否有規定畢業學分的門檻)?

All students in the college of engineering must earn a minimum of 120 credits to graduate. The total number of credits individual students need to complete is dependent on their major and their English language proficiency requirement. (工學院的所有學生在畢業前都必須修滿一百二十學分。每個學生需要完成的畢業總學分可能不同,主要受他們選擇的系所以及來UWM後是否需要修語言課程所影響)

Is there a recommended amount of credits that the 2+2 undergraduate students should register for each semester (選課ㄧ學期大致需要選修幾學分)?

Students must register for a minimum of 12 credits a semester to be considered full-time and in good immigration status.  Each student has been given a personalized four-semester plan to graduation based on their major and English language proficiency. Some students will be enrolled in just 12 credits a semester while others will need to take more credits a semester because of their English language requirements. (學生們每一個學期必須要修至少十二個學分以上,才能被認定為全職學生,移民局也才會認定此學生有良好的在學狀態。每個學生基於所選擇的系所以及是否需要修語言課程,學校會提供在四個學期畢業前題下的修課建議。某些學生每個學期可能只需要修十二個學分就足夠於四個學期畢業,但部分學生可能一開始因為需要修語言課程,後續學期可能會需要修更多的學分來追趕畢業學分,才能夠如期四個學期畢業。)
