COURSE LOAD
According to Administrative
Memorandum - Number 345, all full-time undergraduate students are expected to
comply with the Board’s 1993 Plan to Improve Graduation Rates by enrolling in an
average of at least 15 semester hours per term in order to graduate in four
years. The majority of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State
University’s academic programs require 128 semester hours. In order to complete
a 128 hour degree program in 8 semesters, it will be necessary for students to
carry a course load consisting of an average of 16 semester hours or complete 32
semester hours in an academic year. Undergraduate students enrolled in twelve
(12) or more semester hours are designated as full-time students and must pay
full tuition and fees. Full-time students usually carry from 15 to 18
semester hours. To enroll in more than 18 semester hours, students must get
approval from the department head and the dean.
The maximum course load that
students who are on academic probation may carry is twelve semester hours. The
maximum course load for a student with a minimum GPA of 3.0 is 21 hours.
Undergraduate students on
academic probation who have a cumulative grade point average at or above the
minimum level that is required based on the number of semesters completed are
exempted from the twelve hour course load limit.
