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. The normal student-hour load is 15 to 19 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. After a student registers, courses should not be added or dropped except for class conflicts or other acceptable reasons. In a regular semester the final date for registration or adding courses is the fourth class day.
