Credit Hour Guidelines

One credit equals one hour in class. For every hour you’re in class, plan for at least 2 hours of study time per week. For example, if you’re taking a 3-credit-hour class, you should plan to spend at least 6 hours per week studying for this class.

Review this important information about credit hours:

If you take at least 12 credit hours in a semester, you’re considered a full-time student.
Any less than 12 credit hours is considered part-time.
If you take up to 18 credit hours a semester, you can register online through Ozone.
If you want to take 19-20 credit hours, you are required to get an Academic Advisor’s approval.
Taking 21 or more credit hours requires the Dean’s approval.
