Course Load

A full-time student must be enrolled in a minimum of 9 credit hours per trimester. Any course load less than 9 hours is considered part-time. International students on a student visa must enroll for at least 9 credit hours to maintain full-time status. For financial aid purposes, half-time is considered 4.5 credit hours; full-time is 9 credit hours in each trimester. The maximum load for any student is 14 credit hours per trimester. Students who wish to register for more than 14 hours, must gain approval from the program director and academic Dean.
