Academic Load

A full-time undergraduate student must register for 12 to 18 academic hours each semester. The average load is 15 hours. A student completing an average of 15 hours may finish some baccalaureate degrees in eight semesters. A student with a 3.0 GPA or higher may petition to register for an overload, not to exceed a maximum of 21 hours per semester. To enroll in an academic overload, the student must file an Academic Appeal, following the Academic Appeal procedure.

For the purpose of determining full-time enrollment in graduate programs, a minimum of six hours is required during each semester. Graduate students may take up to 12 hours per semester, additional hours would require an academic appeal for overload. The Master of Science in Athletic Training program provides one exception to the 12 hour rule. Students in the MSAT may take up to 14 hours per semester.
