Maximum Credit Policy
Summer Sessions courses, while taught in a compressed time period, still require work equivalent to a full-length course offered during spring or fall semesters.
Summer workloads can be very heavy. Registration is limited to 1.25 weekly credit hours during any single week. A weekly credit hour is equal to course credit divided by course length.
Examples of Weekly Credit Hours:
- 3 Cr - Six-week session = 0.50 weekly credits.
- 3 Cr - Full session (12 weeks) = 0.25 weekly credits.
In a six-week session, you can take a maximum of seven credits. In a full session you can take a maximum of 14 credits.
To enroll with an overload (more than 1.25 weekly credit hours) requires a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and advisor approval on the Summer Sessions Credit Overload Approval Form.
