You may want to double-check with your student about term credit loads if this is important for your insurance coverage or financial aid. Students and parents may want to check with Office of Financial Aid and their insurance providers about requirements for fulltime enrollment. While each student is different, they should plan on devoting three hours outside of class for every hour spent in class each week. For a full-time student, the time commitment may range from 40 to 50 hours per week. The first step is to talk to the instructor or the professor.
Many departments have programs to help students better understand the course material.
The health of individual students is of the utmost importance. Unfortunately, students do get sick. The first thing sick students should do is visit University Health Service or their family physician. The University is sympathetic and responsive to the needs of a student who unexpectedly becomes ill. If necessary, an ill student can withdraw from his or her courses with the understanding and hope that the student will continue his or her college education when again able.
