Degree Preparation (Planning Your Registration)
Setting aside the appropriate time to plan your registration will help you save time and be successful. Undergraduate students may register for up to 21 credits per term and are recommended to register 13.5-18.0 credits per term to comply with program and course completion standards within the prescribed time frame. Students may be eligible to register up to 25.0 credits in a term, if approved for the Special Honors and Rewards Program (SHARP).
Graduate students enrolled in traditional programs may not take more than 9 credits (usually two courses) per term. Students may register up to 13.5 credits provided their cumulative GPA is at least a 3.75. Within two weeks of the semester start, Doctoral students will be registered by Student Academic Services for up to 12.0 credits per semester.

Course Projections
Not all classes are offered each term, so you’ll want to refer to the course projections to determine which term(s) the university expects to offer each course. For example, ENG1030 can be registered each term, but ACCT1001 may be offered only during one of the three terms in the academic year. To access course projections, select the college/school of your program:
Electives
Elective courses, as designated by each program, allow you to personalize your program of study by selecting courses that will strengthen and support your individual or career aspirations.
