COURSE LOAD

To complete a degree in four years, an average of 32 credits a year must be earned. In the typical pattern, a student carries 14 or 15 credit hours in each of the semesters and three credit hours during the January term. No more than four credit hours may be taken in any one of the three-week periods, whether January or summer session.

A full-time student is permitted to audit one course each semester without additional charge. Permission of the instructor is necessary. The audit does not count toward graduation requirements, but it does appear on the permanent academic record if attendance is satisfactory.

A course load of twelve hours is required for full-time status and the maximum load is eighteen hours in a semester and 36 hours in an academic year. Additional hours require the adviser’s permission and an overload charge.
