The minimum study load for full-time student status in a traditional credit-based program is six credits per semester.  The maximum study load is:

• during any semester when the student's local cumulative GPA is below 3.00: 

  • 3 credits (or 1 course, whichever is greater) per session, and 

  • 6 credits (or 2 courses, whichever is greater) per semester. 

• during semesters when the student’s local cumulative GPA is at least 3.00.:

  • 6 credits (or 2 courses, whichever is greater) per session, and 

  • 12 credits (or 4 courses, whichever is greater) per semester. 

The minimum study load for full-time student status in a competency-based education (Ascend) program is two courses (six credits) per four-month term. The maximum study load is four courses (12 credits) per four-month term. Students wishing to enroll in more than two courses per term must have a minimum local cumulative GPA of 3.00.
