Academic Load

An appropriate course load is dependent upon the (a) scholastic ability of the student as reflected by his/her academic history, and (b) the time available for study. A full-time student is defined as one enrolled in at least 9 semester hours of graduate work during a Fall or Spring Semester. In the summer, full-time is 6 hours per term. Anything less than stated previously is considered part-time. Generally, graduate students should not register for more than 12 credit hours during a semester.
