8. Credit Load Constraints

1. Maximum credit load: 20 enrolled credits per semester.

2. Minimum credit load: 12 enrolled credits per semester.

3. For sessions there is no minimum credit load; the maximum credit load equals the number of weeks in the session.

4. A student not on academic probation may freely choose to carry any number of credits between a minimum credit load and a maximum credit load.

5. A student may carry more than a maximum credit load only with the recommendation of an adviser and with written approval of the Dean.

6. Part-time student: A student who wishes to carry less than a minimum credit load in a specific semester for definitive reasons, e.g., a verifiable disability, or a necessity of employment or other outside obligations exceeding 15 hours per week, must request written permission from the Dean to become a part-time student. Part-time permissions must be renewed during the first two weeks of each semester. Part-time students must satisfy all regulations other than the minimum credit load. For any semester for which part-time permission is granted and the one following it, the academic status of the student is the responsibility of the Dean.

7. A student on academic probation is advised to carry not more than 14 credits per semester unless repeating a course. For every three credits being repeated, the student is advised to carry not more than one additional credit beyond 14, up to a maximum of 16 credits.
