The maximum number of credits a student can take during summer session I is six credits. The maximum number of credits a student can take during summer session II is six credits. Therefore, we do not recommend any student take more than twelve summer session credits in total. Under very rare circumstances, a student may be approved to take fifteen credits in the summer, for instance, if it is all they need to finish their degree. In these cases, registration cannot exceed 6 credits per session. So, a student would have to take six credits in session I, six in session II, and one in session 3 (which spans the whole summer). Students should expect to have the support of their advisor and will need to seek special approval to register for fifteen summer credits. The request may be denied, depending on course availability or other factors.
The Handbook shows requirements for FIRST-YEAR students. Non-first-year students should see sidebar archive to view the requirements for their class.
