Undergraduate

First-semester day program students are registered for courses by Student Academic Services as part of the enrollment process for their first year. First-semester students are required to complete all semester start requirements including health services requirement, financial payment and placement testing. These students are expected to register themselves for courses after the first year of enrollment. Students enrolled in certain programs or cohorts may be automatically registered for their required courses beyond their first year of enrollment. Assistance with registration is available for all students at Student Academic Services with an academic advisor. For timely completion of a degree program, the average course load for students is 15 credits each semester. Students registered for 12 to 18 semester credits are considered full-time. 

Undergraduate students may not register for more than 18 credit hours. First-semester students may not register for more than 17 credit hours. Requests to enroll in more than 18 credit hours must be approved by the college dean. If approved, students will be charged for each credit over 18. Day program students meeting eligibility for the Special Honors and Rewards Program (SHARP) may register for up to 21 credits with no additional fees. Permission will not be granted to enroll in more than 21 credits in a semester.

Additionally, students are able to take undergraduate classes that apply toward a graduate degree through the J2 accelerated master’s degree program. Please see the Accelerated Programs page for more information.

To ensure that courses are offered as scheduled, it is important that all students register promptly after the date registration becomes available for the upcoming semester (see Course Registration Start Dates). Waiting to register until the last minute before a semester starts may cause the cancellation of some courses that students need due to inadequate enrollment in the courses. Please register early to ensure courses run as scheduled. Additionally, students are strongly advised to review course projections (i.e., which semester each course is offered) and to plan accordingly.
