The College operates on an academic calendar that includes two semesters, one summer term, and an extended summer term each year. A minimum course load of 12 semester credit hours is required for classification as a full-time student. A standard full-time class load is typically 15–16 credit hours per semester, and 6–8 credit hours during the summer term.
Students who wish to enroll in more than 19 semester credit hours in a single term must obtain approval from the Vice Chancellor for Instruction.
