An undergraduate student is expected to carry 12 to 18 credit hours of academic work per semester. The average semester load is 15 credits. A minimum enrollment of 12 credits per semester is required for eligibility for most financial aid. The Office of the Registrar restricts undergraduate student enrollment to a maximum of 19 credits per semester. The maximum enrollment for an undergraduate student during the entire summer term is 20 credits.

Course Load for International Students Monitored by SEVIS
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has created the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) to maintain current information on nonimmigrant students, exchange visitors, and their dependents (i.e., all those in the F or J visa status). Undergraduate students monitored by SEVIS must maintain full-time enrollment (at least 12 credit hours for undergraduates) during fall and spring semesters.
