A full-time student carries 12 or more credit hours per semester; a half-time student carries at least six, but less than 12 credit hours. Students admitted on a regular basis may carry up to 18 credit hours per semester; to carry over 18 credit hours requires the permission of the academic dean. Under no circumstances may a student carry over 21 credit hours. A freshman is a student who has earned one to 23 semester credits; a sophomore has earned 24 or more.
