Maximum Number of Courses in a Term
Undergraduate students are permitted to register for up to 18 credits per term in the fall and spring and up to 14 credits during the summer term, not to exceed 7 credits in any one five week or eight week session. In the three-week summer sessions and the winter session, students can only take one course. Students may take a 1-credit physical education activity course in excess of these limits by contacting Jay Express Services. Juniors and seniors with grade point averages of 3.30 or above may take one course in excess of these limits by contacting Jay Express Services.
When making decisions about course load, students are encouraged to take into account factors like employment and family responsibilities and to register for the number of courses in which they can reasonably expect to do well. Students should plan to spend at least two hours on coursework outside of class for every hour they spend in class.
