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. The academic load in credit hours for trimester students is as follows:
Graduate Trimester students
Full-time: 6-credit-hours
Half-time: 3-credit-hours
Less than half-time: 1-2-credit-hours
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.
