Credit Hour Load
Students should enroll for an average of 15 credit hours per term of collegiate-level
coursework to earn an associate degree in two years or a bachelor’s degree in four
years. An average of 16 credit hours involves about 48 clock hours of scholastic
productivity each week of the term.
Students who work are advised to fit their job schedule into the term/hour equation
and anticipate taking more than six terms to complete a two-year educational plan.
It may be difficult to carry a full-time academic load while working more than 20
hours per week.
To enroll in more than 19 credits per term, students must have a cumulative
minimum GPA of 2.75 and written approval from the faculty advisor or a Student
Services Representative. By taking advantage of Summer Term classes students
can either reduce the number of hours needed per term, or the length of time
required for attaining their degree[s].
