taken at the University.
The normal semester load for undergraduate students is between 16-18 semester credit hours.
An undergraduate student must carry 12 or more semester hours to be full time, 9–11 semester credit hours to be three-quarters time, 6–8 semester credit hours to be half time, and 1–5 semester credit hours to be part time or less than half time.
In order for an undergraduate student to pursue 19 or more credit hours per semester, one of the following conditions must be met:
The student must have the written approval of his/her advisor and the academic unit head; or
The student's cumulative grade-point average is 3.2 or better.
An undergraduate student may pursue a maximum of 21 semester credit hours during the fall or spring semester of the academic year for which he/she is a candidate for graduation.
An undergraduate student may pursue a maximum of 10 semester credit hours during the summer session.
A student wishing to pursue a double major must declare the first and second majors to the Registrar. A student will have earned a double major after he or she has completed all the requirements for the first and second majors and after completing a minimum of 120 semester credit hours. Unless otherwise specified, any course taken to satisfy a requirement (including electives) for one major may be used to satisfy a requirement for another major. The student who completes all the requirements for both majors receives a degree appropriate to the first major (either a B.A. or a B.S.) with a notation of the second major. The baccalaureate degree may be awarded for multiple majors and minors, provided the requirements for all majors and minors are met. The associate degree may be awarded for one or more majors, provided the requirements for all majors are met. A double major does not necessarily result in an additional degree.
A student may pursue two degrees of the same level in a given matriculation period, e.g., two baccalaureate degrees, two associate degrees, or two graduate degrees, when minimum graduation requirements are met with additional coursework for the appropriate degree level. A student may not pursue mixed levels of degrees simultaneously.
(Students having earned one degree at any level may subsequently pursue another, either associate or baccalaureate. (See Subsequent Degrees, Section X.) Students must complete all of the requirements in effect at the time the student declares the major in each degree program. While some of the hours earned from one degree may count toward another degree, students must earn at least 15 additional approved semester hours for another associate degree or 30 additional hours for another baccalaureate degree. This translates to a minimum of 75 hours for two associate's degrees and a minimum of 150 hours for two baccalaureate degrees.
