A student enrolled in fewer than 12 semester hours will be classified as a part-time student. Individuals enrolled in 12 or more semester hours are classified as full-time students. A normal student load for coursework in a fall or spring semester is 12 to 18 hours of instruction. Students wishing to enroll in more than 18 hours during 16 week terms will need to secure the written permission of the Vice President of Instruction after providing documentation of past academic success. During a 5 week summer session, a normal load is 6 semester hours. During a 3-week mini-term, a load is 3 hours. During a Flex session, a normal load would be no more semester hours than the number of weeks of the flex session.
