  • December and May Minis 3 semester credit hours
  • Summer Eleven Week 4 semester credit hours
  • Summer Five Week 7 semester credit hours
  • Summer Five & 11 Week 14 semester credit hours

 

Students who wish to enroll in more than eighteen credit hours in any combination of terms within the fall or the spring semester must have written permission from the Vice President of Instruction or designee prior to registration. Three week mini-semester terms in December and May are excluded from this total.

Students who wish to enroll in more than fourteen credit hours in any combination of terms within the summer semester must have written permission from the Vice President of Instruction or designee prior to registration.

 

Study Guidelines
Taking too many semester credit hours and outside work hours are a leading cause of poor class performance and course withdrawal, students are strongly encouraged to plan for two hours of study time per credit hour when planning semester schedules.  As an example, a student enrolled in a three-credit hour class should plan on six hours of expected study time outside of class per week. The total class commitment per week would then be 9 hours per week (3 hours of class time + 6 hours of study time outside of class).
