Summer sessions are typically five or eight weeks in length. The fall and spring semesters are typically sixteen (16) weeks in length. To obtain credit, a student must be properly registered and must pay fees for the course. Standards for the awarding of credit hours may be time based or competency based. A credit hour indicates the value of an academic credit. As provided in the Reduced Course Load administrative regulation, a student may be deemed a full-time student carrying fewer than twelve credit hours pursuant to an accommodation of a disability.Ĭourses may vary in length, and begin and end throughout the year. Contact the Admissions and Records Office/Office of Student Enrollment Services for clarification. Academic load for summer and special terms may be defined differently. Fewer than six (6) credit hours is considered less than half-time. Three-quarter-time is 9 - 11.9 credit hours.
Students carrying at least twelve (12) credit hours will be considered full-time students for the fall and spring semesters. In accordance with common practice in higher education, instruction representing a credit hour is typically delivered in a 50 minute class period. A credit hour is defined as an amount of work represented in course competencies and verified by evidence of student achievement that reasonably approximates not less than one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester hour of credit, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time, or at least an equivalent amount of work for other academic activities, including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours.
