Course Load
The normal academic load for a full-time student varies by academic level:
Doctorate: 7 or more quarter credit hours per quarter is full – time, 2 to 6 quarter credit hours per quarter is half-time
Master’s: 4 quarter credit hours per session, 8 or more quarter credit hours per quarter
Undergraduate: 12 or more quarter credit hours per quarter
For students enrolled in degree programs through CTU’s Virtual Campus, no more than one course in master’s degree programs or two courses in undergraduate degree programs may be taken in any session as this constitutes a course overload. For students enrolled in degree programs through CTU’s physical campuses, no more than three courses in master’s degree programs or four courses in undergraduate degree programs may be taken in any quarter, as this constitutes a course overload. Exceptions to this may be made on a case- by-case basis by an appropriate academic official.
