Full-time Student StatusAll full-time students (12 or more credit hours) are permitted to enroll for a maximum of eighteen (18) credit hours per semester, unless they are on Academic Warning II. Dismissal criteria is defined individually for each student. The tuition charge for these courses is covered by the full-time rate. In an exceptional circumstance, a student may receive a recommendation from his or her faculty advisor and the approval of the appropriate Dean to take more than eighteen (18) credit hours (course overload). In such a case, the student must have a minimum CGPA of 3.00 and will be charged an additional tuition fee at the part-time student rate. Course overload forms are available in the Registrar's office. Part-time Student StatusAny student enrolled in less than twelve (12) credits in a semester is considered to be part-time. A student may complete nine (9) credits or three (3) courses prior to matriculating into a program of study. After the completion of nine (9) credits or three (3) courses, the student must formally apply for admission and submit all materials required for acceptance into a degree program to the Admissions Office. The applicant will be notified in writing by the Director of Admissions once a decision has been made. The completion of three courses is not, in itself, a guarantee of admission into a degree program. |
