Course Loads

A full-time student carries 12 or more credit hours per semester. Any non-resident student carrying less than 12 semester hours is considered to be part-time. A resident student must carry at least 12 semester hours (appeals for exceptions may be addressed to the Provost). Day students maintaining a 3.0 GPA may be allowed to take up to 21 semester hours, at a charge of $250.00 per credit hour for each hour over 18, with the permission of the appropriate Dean. In a single term, a student may take a maximum of three courses in any combination of: online courses, first-half courses, and second-half courses.

Online students may take up to three courses per term for a total of 18 semester hours in a semester.

No student will be allowed to be enrolled in more than three online courses at any one time. Overload requests for day students must be received at least one week before the session or term begins.
