TITLE: STUDENT CREDIT LOAD AND FULL-TIME STATUS

Students are considered full time if registered for 12 or more credit hours. Students may register for combinations of general studies courses and professional-technical courses. If students must work part time while attending the community college, they should bear in mind that most classes require one or two hours of preparation for each class hour and should adjust work schedules accordingly or register for fewer class hours. In most areas, there are suggested curricula to cover one or two years of study. Working students may schedule a two-year equivalent curriculum over an extended period of time.

Students in associate degree programs should plan to schedule at least 15 credits per term to accumulate 90 credits in a six-quarter (two-year) period. Students registering for 21 or more credit hours are required to have a counselor's approval.
