What is a good course load to take?
Most classes are three semester hours. So if you have five classes that are each three semester hours, you will have a course load of fifteen hours. Twelve hours or more is considered full-time. Consult with your advisor about what would be a good course load for you. Take into consideration other obligations you may have such as athletics, jobs, or clubs. Please note: to graduate in four years, students need to earn thirty semester hours per year by taking fifteen semester hours.
