GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS AND INFORMATION

Academic Workload

In order to make timely progress toward their degrees and to graduate at the end of four years, students should take 30 hours per year, which is the normal workload for undergraduate students. Undergraduate students must carry 12 hours per term and graduate students 9 hours per term to be certified as full-time students. Undergraduate students must carry 6 hours per term and graduate students 5 hours per term to be certified as one-half time students.

Graduate, professional, and undergraduate students are considered full-time and half-time during the summer term upon enrollment in 6 and 3 hours, respectively. However, undergraduates must be enrolled in at least 12 hours during the summer to be considered full-time for financial aid purposes.
