a. I heard that J-term units count toward the 12 minimum units that you are required to be enrolled in for the spring semester, but do they count toward the 16-unit maximum?

J-term units count toward the 12-unit minimum, but not the 16-unit maximum. For example, you could take two J-term units and 10 units during the spring semester for a total of 12 units. Conversely, you could take two J-term units and 15 units during the semester, for a total of 17 units for the entire spring term.
