Course Load

To complete a degree in four years, students must earn an average of 30 credits each year. Programs of study requiring more than the minimum 120 hours require higher semester course loads to complete the degree within four years. No more than four credit hours may be taken in any one of the three-week periods.

A course load of 12 hours is required for full-time status and the maximum load is 18 hours in a semester. Within the semester, overload charges will be assessed for each credit hour over 18 (See the section Admissions and Financial Aid in this Catalog).
