How many credits may I take per semester?

All students must carry 12 credits to maintain full-time student status.  The per semester credit max for sophomores is 17.5 credits; 19 for juniors or seniors.   If you wish to take a heavier courseload, you must request and be approved for an overload.  Submit the Overload Request eForm found on insideND eForms, which opens after first year students register.
