Academic Load
Fifteen to sixteen hours of academic credit is considered the normal load per semester. No student may register for more than 18 hours of academic credit unless that student has a grade point average of 3.20 in the previous semester and obtains permission from the Provost. Registering for an overload (more than 18 hours per semester) requires the approval of the Provost. Students who are permitted to register for an overload will be subject to additional charges for each hour over 18. No student may receive credit for more than 21 hours in a semester unless unless that student has a grade point average of 3.20 in the previous term and obtains written permission from the Provost of the University, and only under extreme circumstances.
