The maximum credit hour load permitted is 18 credit hours during a fall or spring semester, and 14 credit hours during the summer semester. Students wishing to exceed the maximum credit hour load must obtain permission from the Dean of the College of their major. In the summer sessions, students may not exceed 7 credit hours in each of the Summer I or Summer II sessions, 13 credit hours in the Long Summer session, or 14 credit hours in the Nursing 14-Week session.
