   2. If you are enrolled in any courses for the following semester prior to bidding those units will count towards your unit max.
   3. Please keep in mind important Unit Requirements.
   4. Students must be enrolled in at least 6 units for the term in which they wish to receive Financial Aid.
   5. At the end of Round 1, the Program Office will process all of the bids. If students’ bids are successful, they will be enrolled in the course(s). If students’ bids are unsuccessful, the bid points will be returned to them to use in Round 2. Summer electives have only 1 round of Bidding.
5. Bidding Round 2
   1. Only students with unused or refunded bid points from unsuccessful bids from Round 1 and who have not met the unit maximum limit can bid in Round 2. When these students log into OLR, they will be able to see their results and bid on any unfilled electives up to their unit maximum.
   2. If students are enrolled in courses from Round 1, these cannot be dropped during Round 2. Students can only drop courses during Add/Drop.
6. After Bidding Ends
   1. If you were unable to secure any classes after bidding, please contact your advisor to discuss your options.
   2. After bidding, students will have an opportunity to add and drop classes during the Add/Drop period, which will start at the beginning of each semester.
