Full-time Status Undergraduate Students

Twelve credit hours per semester constitute a full-time undergraduate course load. A course load in excess of 19 credit hours per semester requires written approval of the Academic Dean or Program Chair. Students wishing to carry excess course loads, as defined above, must also have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Students who are denied approval to take a course load in excess of 19 credits per semester may appeal in writing to the Office of Academic Affairs.

Students wishing to carry excess course loads (more than 19 credits per semester) must submit a request in writing to the office of the appropriate Academic Dean. Such written requests must be submitted in sufficient time to allow for adequate review prior to the beginning of classes. Students who fail to follow these procedures may be required to drop classes they are attending.
