Starting with the fall 2023 term, students who enroll in fewer than 13 credits will no longer need to submit an exemption to the 13-credit flat rate charge. They will automatically be charged the per-credit tuition rate. Students enrolled in more than 13 credits will continue to receive the benefit of the tuition cap.
This 13-credit requirement was implemented in 2002 with the aim of students enrolling in enough credits to graduate in 4 years. At the time, only 40% of students were graduating in 4 years. That number has now nearly doubled.
To maintain full-time status, undergraduate students will need to enroll in 12 or more credits. They should generally be encouraged to enroll in 15 credits per semester for timely degree progress and to maximize financial aid.
