Registration
Students should register for classes in accordance with calendars and procedures published in the appropriate Schedule of Classes. To participate in registration, new students must have completed an application for admission. Students in the following categories are admitted conditionally pending receipt of documents verifying or clarifying their status (see also Admission Information). Categories include: high school graduates; GED completion; transfer students; mature students (without high school diploma or GED); students on academic probation at a previous college; students on academic suspension at a previous college; and “special” students especially those taking classes while still enrolled in high school. Students in the foregoing categories who do not provide required documents may be barred from participation in future registrations.

Semester
The normal full-time academic load is defined as 12 credit hours per semester. A student may take no more than 18 credit hours in a single fall or spring semester without prior approval. A student with a grade point average of 3.00 or better for 12 or more credit hours during one semester or summer session is eligible to petition to the Registrar/Director for Admissions to carry in excess of the 18 hour maximum. Exceptions to this procedure may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Summer
Summer classes are intensive; therefore, the recommended maximum academic load for the entire summer is 12-credit hours. A student with a grade point average of 3.00 or better for 12 or more credit hours during one semester or summer session is eligible to petition to the Registrar/Director for Admissions to carry credit hours in excess of the 12 credit hour maximum. Exceptions to this procedure are considered on a case-by-case basis.
