Most courses meet three hours per week and have a credit value of three semester hours.
For each hour in class, at least two hours of preparation are expected on the part of the student. Many students should spend more than this amount of time in study. Any student registered for 12 semester hours or more during the fall or spring semester or six hours in a summer session is considered a full-time student. The normal student-hour load is 15 to 18 semester hours during the fall or spring semester and six or seven hours in summer terms. Approval for heavier loads may be given by a student's academic dean under exceptional circumstances or if a student had an average of B or above during the preceding semester or the preceding summer session.
