Financial aid awards are based on full-time enrollment of 12 to 17 credits each term. Enrollment for less than 12 credit hours will reduce your financial aid. You are planning a schedule for one semester. Each semester you will complete a new registration for the following term. Credit hour values are assigned to each course.
Most courses are four credit hours.
PE activity classes, music ensembles, private lessons, etc., are generally one credit hour. A few two-credit courses are also available, mainly Critical Conversation courses. There are variations in how often a class meets each week. This variation has no relation to the credit hour value of the course. If your schedule allows 10 minutes between classes, you will have time to walk to any part of the campus.
