The normal full time student schedule in a regular semester should range between 12 and 18 credits. The normal freshman schedule in a regular semester should range between 12 and 15 credits. Short sessions, Session A or Session B in any given full term (Fall, Spring, or Summer), contain courses offered on compressed timeframe and students should be aware there is an advanced pace in a compressed format. Students are encouraged to consult their academic advisor to determine a course load that best meets their academic preparation. Students with an at-risk Cumulative GPA may be advised to limit their academic load to fewer than 15 hours. Students on Academic Probation are limited to enrolling in 13 hours in Fall or Spring semester and 7 hours in Summer.
Students may enroll for more than 19 semester hours of courses only with permission of their Dean and provided they have maintained an overall 3.0 (B) Cumulative Grade Point Average and have not fallen below a grade of C in any subject during the preceding semester; but in no case will any student be permitted to register for more than 21 credit hours of degree credit. Students who register for fewer than 12 credit hours or drop below 12 credit hours of work (6 in the summer session) will not be considered full-time.
In the Summer term, six semester hours is the minimum full-time load, and the maximum load permitted is 12 semester hours. In the Session A or Session B, students may enroll in up to 6 hours.
