Students are expected to register for and successfully complete an average of fifteen (15) credit hours per semester in order to complete the required 120 credits for graduation within eight semesters. Students who register for fewer than 15 credits, or who fail or withdraw from a course, may fall behind in their progress toward degree completion. Students are responsible for making up any credit-hour deficiency through departmentally approved summer, intersession, or sixth-course enrollment during the fall or spring semester, as applicable.
Courses taken outside the standard fall and spring tuition package may result in additional charges to the student.
For purposes of enrollment status, twelve (12) credit hours constitute full-time undergraduate enrollment. Students enrolled in fewer than twelve (12) credit hours are considered part-time. Students who enroll in fewer than 12 credit hours must:
- File a change to part-time status form with the Registrar at the beginning of the semester;
- Understand that they may not be eligible for on-campus housing;
- Have their financial aid funding reduced or eliminated; and
- Understand that they may not be eligible for health insurance coverage through a parent's plan, depending on the requirements of the applicable plan.
