A regular full-time student registers for between 12 and 18 credit hours of courses per semester and is expected to remain enrolled in at least 12 hours of courses per semester. Students who wish to plan an accelerated program of study may register for extra hours with the approval of their advisors. The Associate Vice President of Retention and Academic Success must approve all schedules with more than 18 hours. There is an extra fee for each credit hour over 18. Students wishing to have the extra credit hour fee waived should contact the Associate Vice President of Retention and Academic Success prior to registration. Generally, extra hours are recommended only if the student earned a B average in the previous semester.
