Semester Load
A full-time student is one who carries a minimum load of 12 credit hours in the regular semester or 6 credit hours during the summer semester. A student should carry a normal load of 15-18 credit hours per regular semester. This enrollment should lead to the successful completion of all associate degree requirements in four regular semesters, unless a semester of remedial or high school equivalency course work is needed. Students wanting to carry more than 18 credit hours per regular semester must have approval of their advisor and academic administrator.
