Students may be admitted to regular classes for audit by meeting admission
requirements, receiving the approval of the appropriate academic dean, and
by paying an audit fee. An audit may not be changed to credit, or vice versa,
after registration closes. Students auditing courses will not receive credit,
nor will they be permitted to take a credit examination (departmental exams)
on worked audited. Credit hours for courses audited are figured in fee
assessment but not for certification of full-time status. Any student using fee
waiver cannot register for audit.
VIII. Course Load
Undergraduate students are classified full time if they schedule 12 or more
semester hours for credit (not including audits). However, during a regular
semester, a schedule of fifteen to nineteen semester hours is considered a
standard load. Academic deans, at their discretion, may allow the student to
schedule more than nineteen semester hours. No student will be permitted to
register for more than twenty-one semester hours.
During the twelve-week summer session, a schedule of six hours per sixweek
term is considered a normal load; however, students are classified fulltime
if they schedule (for credit) four or more semester hours. Maximum
load is seven semester hours a summer term; developmental students may
schedule eight semester hours if one five-hour developmental course is
scheduled along with a three semester hour course.
The credit hour load for student teachers registered for six or more hours of
student teaching is limited to twelve semester hours except as approved by
the Dean of the College of Education and Human Development.
