Course Load

A normal course load is defined as at least 12 but not more than 18 semester credit hours for the fall and spring semester. To fulfill the requirements of a degree program in four years, a student must complete an average of 30 semester credits each year, including three semester credits for a Field Period experience. Some programs require slightly larger loads. Students typically enroll in five 3-credit courses each semester. 

Any student wishing to deviate from the maximum course load for each semester must submit an exception to policy. Additional charges are applied for students taking more than 18 credit hours per semester if they are paying block tuition.
