Academic Loads, Full- and Part-Time Status

Normal Academic Load

A normal academic load for undergraduate students during the Fall and Spring semesters is 15 credit hours. For Summer sessions, the normal load is 8 semester hours.

Full-Time Load

Undergraduate students enrolled in 12 or more credit hours of coursework are considered full-time students. For Summer sessions, six or more hours constitute full-time enrollment. The designation of full-time is for academic purposes only and does not apply to assessment of fees.

Overloads

Undergraduate registration in more than 17 semester hours must be approved by the academic unit. For Summer sessions, approval is required for programs of 9 or more semester hours.

Restricted Loads

Limitations on the size of academic load for which students register may be imposed by the dean or faculty adviser. Students on probation generally are required to restrict their academic programs to a minimal full-time load until they have returned to good standing.
