The maximum course load for a student is not to exceed 18 academic credits or a combination of 18 academic and billable equivalent credits. Science laboratories, clinical, and physical education courses will be counted as credits. However, the student is still liable for the tuition.

The Dean of Academic Affairs must approve exceptions to this 18-credit-maximum policy. Students requesting exceptions must present their latest transcript. There are two possible reasons for making exceptions:

1. The student completed all 18 academic credits or 18 billable equivalent credits attempted in the previous semester;

2. A student who is not on probation needs additional credits in order to complete graduation requirements.

A fee for accelerated study will be charged for students registered for credits beyond the established College limit of 18 academic credits per semester.
