A student enrolled for 12 or more credit hours is considered a full-time student. A student enrolled for fewer than 12 credit hours is considered part-time.
Most degree programs are designed so that students taking a normal load of 15-18 credit hours per semester may graduate in two academic years. The maximum course load is nineteen hours. Students wishing to enroll for more than 19 semester hours must receive approval from the Dean of Instruction.
