Course Load
The normal full-time undergraduate course load is 15 to 17 credit hours per semester. Any undergraduate student who is carrying 12 or more credit hours is classified as a full-time student. Credits earned during Winterim do not count toward a student’s regular fall or spring course load. Students must take a minimum of 12 credits in fall or spring to be considered a full-time student for that semester, regardless of Winterim enrollment.
A student may not register for more than 18 credit hours in any one semester without the permission of the student's advisor and the department chair or program coordinator. There is an additional tuition charge for credits over 18. If the total number of credits taken by a student in any given fall and Winterim semesters exceeds 18, then the student will pay standard tuition rates for any credits taken in excess of 18 in Winterim.
It is strongly recommended that a student employed more than 20 hours per week only take courses on a part-time basis. Students are prohibited from taking more than 22 credits in a single semester.
