What is a typical course load for a first-year student?
A typical first-year schedule usually consists of four classes (15-16 credits), but that often varies depending upon ability, difficulty of courses, and the extent of extracurricular activities and outside responsibilities. Full-time students must register for at least 12 credits and need to average 15 & 1/2 credits per semester to graduate in four years. New students are not permitted to register for more than 18 academic credits (academic credits rather than activity credits).
