Students are normally expected to enroll for 12 full-time academic year quarters. This requirement may be reduced by approved credit from the sources listed below. Regardless of the amount of credit earned outside the University, all students entering as freshmen must enroll for a minimum of nine full-time quarters. Students entering as freshmen are limited to a maximum of four courses from another institution. These courses may be taken before or after matriculation but must be completed before the achievement of senior standing.
Tuition is billed on a term pricing basis.
The normal full-time course load is three or four courses per quarter. However, students may, with approval of their school offices, take more than four courses per quarter without additional charge. These excess courses may be applied toward fulfillment of degree requirements of the various schools so long as they are not used to accelerate graduation. However, for students who desire to use the excess courses to accelerate graduation, there will be an excess course charge for each course of 25 percent of the full-time quarter's tuition in effect at the time of graduation. Students wishing to apply excess courses must indicate their desire to do so when applying for the degree.
