How many credits may I take per term?

Learn about the maximum number of credits allowed per term.

We allow you to take a maximum of 15 credits* per term. This is equal to five of our 3-credit graduate level courses. 

Each term has a set completion date when all work is due. This deadline will be the same regardless of the number of credits taken in each term. 

Please learn more about term dates here.


We do not have a minimum number of credits you need to take per term. 

*NOTE: Our university partners Pacific Lutheran University, Southern New Hampshire University and University of Massachusetts Global will allow 9 credits for fall and spring session, and 12 credits for summer session. All of our other university partners allow 15 credits per session.
