Academic Load

An academic load of 12-17 semester hours is considered normal for a full-time student during regular semesters. During the summer session, 6-8 semester hours are considered a full load.

Part-time students are those students enrolled for less than the normal full load. Students with jobs or other outside commitments should limit their credit loads accordingly.

Students planning an overload of courses (more than 17 semester hours) must have at least a “B” average for 12 or more hours during the previous semester. All such overloads must be approved by a Success Coach or the Registrar before registration. Success Coaches and the Registrar are located in the Student Success Center, Room N117.
