SCHEDULING YOUR CLASSES

How many classes should I take each semester? This is one of your biggest decisions you make as a college student because it can influence your grades, your performance, and your overall stress level. The biggest factor to consider is your overall lifestyle. How many hours do you plan to work while you're in school? Do you have any kids? Do you like to have some free time?

If you plan to take classes full-time, you will register for at least 12 credit hours. That translates to approximately 4 classes each semester.

If you plan to take classes part-time, you will register for 6 - 8 credit hours. That traslates to approximately 2 - 3 classes each semester.
