Student Load/Credit Hours

Credit hours are awarded on a semester basis. A student can complete a degree program in four semesters by successfully completing 15 credit hours of required coursework each semester. A student may choose, due to personal circumstances, to extend completion time. The following is a guide for all semesters used for tuition and financial aid purposes:

Full-time 12+ credit hours
Three-quarter time 9-11 credit hours
Half-time 6-8 credit hours

Students receiving benefits through Veterans Affairs should contact Military & Veteran Services for information regarding the VA calculation of their course load.
