Students enrolled in 12 to 21.5 credits per semester are considered enrolled full-time. Students paying full-time comprehensive tuition will incur additional tuition charges only if: their total credit load exceeds 21.5 credits; or their total credit load is more than 6 credits above prescribed maximum load of their program. Students taking less than 12 credits per semester are considered part-time and will be billed at the per-credit rate. Students enrolled in more than 21.5 credits per semester are enrolled in an overload. Students enrolled in an overload will be billed the comprehensive rate plus the overload per-credit charge for all credits over 21.5.
