Variable Course Load

Students may vary their course load semester by semester, depending on their professional and personal demands. Full time status is defined as attempting 12 or more credits per semester; students attempting less than 12 credits per semester are considered part-time.

Students requesting to enroll in more than 17 credit hours in a single semester (but less than or equal to 21 credits) must have a GPA of at least 3.0 and must meet with their advisor prior to submission of the Credit Increase Request Form.

Change of course load may affect financial aid status; students should contact the Office of Financial Assistance for more information. Please see the Bursar’s website for more information about credit limits and costs.
