The maximum credit hours in which a student may enroll in a semester or summer session is governed by the following guidelines.

Fall or Spring Semester
12 hours per semester: Minimum course load required for full-time status
14 hours per semester: Maximum course load for student on academic probation
15 hours per semester: Minimum average course load required each semester to graduate in four years
18 hours per semester: Maximum course load for student in good academic standing*
21 hours per semester: Maximum course load for student with cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher

Eight Week Terms: Main Campus and Distance Education
6 hours per term: Minimum course load required for full-time status
9 hours per term: Maximum Load for each eight-week term*
* Students with a minimum GPA of 2.0 may enroll concurrently in semester-long and eight-week classes for a maximum of 21credit hours.

Summer School
7 hours per session: Maximum course load for student in good academic standing

Students may exceed these course load limits only with written approval of the advisor, department chair, dean, and provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs using the Course Overload Form. Such approvals will normally be given only in cases when the overload will enable the student to complete degree requirements in the semester/term for which the overload is requested.
