Registration Credit Limitations
The typical full-time credit load is 12–19 credits. At no point in the semester will a student be allowed to register for more than 24 credits in that semester.
Exceptions to the credit limitation policy may be granted in rare cases by the appropriate dean, campus chancellor, or designee using the Credit Limit Exception Request Form.
More information about Credit Limitations can be found on the Academic Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual.
