How many courses does a student need to be considered full-time during each individual academic term?
The normal course load in each of the four terms of the academic year, for degree-seeking undergraduates, is three courses. While two- or four-course loads are allowed within specified limits, no matriculated undergraduate may have in any term a load of fewer than two courses or may in any term take, or receive credit for, five or more courses. A full description of the rules and procedures for course loads can be found on the Registrar’s web site.
