Course load policy:

Maximum enrollment for any 5-week day session is 10 semester hours, unless exception is granted by the Provost. Courses are taught in very condensed time frame. This maximum limit represents a load approximately 50% greater than the 17 hour ceiling of a normal semester. Successful completion of a maximum summer load will require correspondingly greater effort on the part of the student.
