What is a normal course load for Fall or Winter Term?
The normal course load for full-time undergraduate students in the fall/winter term is thirty credit hours (30h), or fifteen hours (15h) per term, although some programs require a higher normal course load (Applied Science and Music, for example). The course load for part-time undergraduate students in the fall/winter term is less than nine credit hours (9h) per term. If your sessional grade point average for the previous year (fall/winter term) is between 2.5 and 2.99, you are automatically authorized to take a 3 hour (3h) overload. If it is 3.0 or higher, you are automatically authorized to take a 6 hour (6h) overload. Other students need permission of their department head to take overloads. First year students may register in no more than 30h unless required by their program (Engineering, Music).
