Maximum Credit Load
Spring and Fall Semesters
18 credits is the maximum load for which a student may register without obtaining special permission. Registration for more than 18 credits (including audits) may be permitted by the Associate Dean of the college in which the student is enrolled, if the student has a resident GPA of at least 3.00 and if other conditions make the overload advisable.
Summer and Winterim Sessions
You may carry one credit per week of attendance. For instance, in eight weeks you may take eight credits; in three weeks you may take three credits. (You must have the Dean's permission before you will be allowed to register for an overload which is granted only in special circumstances).
Request an Enrollment or Degree Verification letter via the Web
An enrollment or degree verification can be emailed, faxed, or sent to you or the agency of your choice. (Please note - emailed verifications will not be issued on official letterhead and are not official verifications.)
