Academic Load
All academic credit is stated in semester credit hours. Student enrollment status is determined by the number of credit hours in which a student is enrolled during a given term. In credit hours the academic load for trimester students is as follows:
Graduate Trimester students
6 credit hours: full-time
3 credit hours: half-time
1-2 credit hours: less than half-time
Course extensions (including culminating project extensions and thesis extensions) are not considered a part of “hours enrolled” for purposes of this policy and are therefore less than half time.
