Course Information

Course Load

The normal course load for a full-time student is from 12 to 18 credit hours. An employed student should vary a course load for the semester according to the number of hours the student works. It is recommended that such a student consult with an advisor about his or her schedule. Students who wish to complete a 2-year degree in 2 years, excluding summers, should take at least 15 credits per term.

Course Numbering

100-199   Courses normally taken by freshmen.
200-299   Courses normally taken by sophomores.

Attendance

Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered, except in case of illness or other emergencies. The instructor shall determine and inform students of the effects of absences on the grade. If any student accumulates so many absences that continued enrollment in the class seems to be of little value, the student may be asked by the instructor to withdraw from the course. The instructor may assign a final grade or develop an Incomplete contract with the student if the student has successfully completed 75% of the course. Withdrawals must be processed by the deadline shown in the schedule of classes.
