How many credits do upper-level Northeastern students usually take during a given academic quarter?
Usually between 12 and 16 credits. You can take between 10 and 16 credits per quarter and need to get permission if you plan to take less then twelve or more than sixteen. However, keep in mind that with the shorter terms (11 weeks), 15 or 16 credits is a heavy load, and you are advised not to take more than 16 credits. To meet the ABA Residency Requirement, you will have to enroll in at least 10 quarter hours and pass at least 9.
