Course Load
Sixteen hours of university work per semester is considered the normal student load. Students who are on academic probation are limited to a maximum load of 14 semester hours in fall and spring semesters.
Maximum load for any one semester is as follows:
- Fall and Spring Semesters: 18 semester hours
- Winter Term: 4 semester hours
- Summer Term I: 8 semester hours
- Summer Term II: 8 semester hours
Overload
If a student wishes to register for more than a term’s maximum load, he/she must submit an Advisor Overload Approval form. If the request is approved, the Registrar will permit the student to register for the specified hours.
A student whose cumulative GPA is less than 3.0 may not register for overload hours in any term.
