Course Load

Full-time students normally should carry at least 15 credits per term and in some programs need to carry more than 15 credits in one or more terms in order to graduate within the standard four-year period, such as in the theater major. Approval of the dean of students is required before a student may take more than 20 credits in a term.

Full-Time and Part-Time Status. All programs in the Mason Gross School of the Arts are full-time programs and only under extenuating circumstances, as determined by the dean of students, can a student attend on a part-time basis. For statistical and billing purposes, a full-time student is defined as one who is taking at least 12 credits per term. Those taking fewer than 12 credits are considered part time. All courses taken, whether on a credit or a noncredit basis, are counted for billing and statistical purposes. In addition, students should realize that they jeopardize receipt of financial aid if they register for fewer than 12 credits, since full-time status is required for all financial aid awards.
