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.
