Credit Load

University College-Newark is designed for adult learners as a part-time college. To be considered a full-time student, an individual must carry a minimum of 12 credits per semester. Students may carry between 1 and 19 credits, but not more than 19 credits per semester without written permission from the Office of Academic Services.

Credit overloads are intended for exceptional students. As a rule, a student must meet all of the following standards for consideration for a credit overload:

  • Cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or higher
  • English 101 and 102 completed
  • Math proficiency completed
  • Major declared with an academic department
  • Successful completion of 24 Rutgers University-Newark credits
In addition to meeting the standards listed above, requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis after an evaluation of past performance, number of credits taken in prior semesters, and specific courses being attempted.
