FAQ Detail

Students should take anywhere from 14-16 credits each semester. Courses can range from 1-4.5 credit hours, so you may see a different number of classes on your schedule than you expected. There are a few reasons a preferred course is not on your schedule: a time conflict with another requested course, it was closed at the time of your registration, or you are not eligible to take the course. If you would like to add a different course and you meet the placement/prerequisite requirements due to a second attempt on the math placement test, you can adjust your schedule as soon as you can see your updated placements on Degree Navigator. Otherwise, you can adjust your schedule at any point this summer through the end of the add/drop period.  First-year students should remain in 14-16 total credits for their first semester. Learning about the available course options for this semester is a great way to familiarize yourself with the Schedule of Classes, which is the university's full list of courses offered in a particular term.
