Full-time students usually carry 15 credits per term and must carry a minimum of 12 credits per term; part-time students normally carry 9 credits, and must carry a minimum of 6 credits. Approval of an academic dean is required before a student may take more than 20 credits.
Full-Time and Part-Time Status. For statistical and billing purposes, a full-time student is defined as one who is enrolled in at least 12 credits a term. Those enrolled in fewer than 12 credits are considered part time. All courses taken, whether on a degree credit or nondegree credit basis, are counted for billing and statistical purposes.
Douglass College students must be enrolled full time unless special permission for part-time status has been obtained in advance from the Student Academic Affairs Committee. Only students in the Mary I. Bunting Program may have part-time status with a minimum course load of 6 credits on a continuing basis.
