Maximum Credit Hours

The maximum number of credit hours that a student may register for in any given quarter without special permission is 23. If a student wishes to register for 24 or more credit hours in a single quarter, he/she must have an accumulative grade-point average of 2.5 or higher and must obtain the permission of the dean of the division in which his/her program resides (the dean must sign the course request form and specify the number of credit hours that he/she is approving the student to take). The student should be prepared to explain to the dean why he/she wishes or needs to take an unusually high number of credit hours and how he/she plans on handling the heavy workload that this will entail.
