How to Evaluate Your Course Load

Course load is measured in total credits and estimated time commitment.

Formula

Study Hours = (Easy Courses x Credits x 2) + (Hard Courses x Credits x 3)

Total = Credits (class time) + Study Hours

Guidelines

  • 12 credits: minimum full-time
  • 15 credits: standard full-time
  • 18+ credits: heavy load (consider carefully)

    • Exemple Résolu

    5 courses at 3 credits, 2 of which are difficult.

    1. Total credits = 5 x 3 = 15
    2. Study hours = (3 easy x 3 cr x 2) + (2 hard x 3 cr x 3) = 18 + 18 = 36
    3. Total weekly = 15 + 36 = 51 hours
