[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would look at the credits more than number of courses. Most schools require around 120 credits to graduate (more for engineering). So student should take about 15-17 credits a semester. That could be 5 3-credit courses but some courses (usually those with a lab) are 4 credits. Sometimes there is a 1-credit course required for major. I actually had a 6 credit course in college. So for example my (Freshman) DS is taking 17 credits this fall, four 4 credit courses and a 1 credit course required for major.[/quote] This has been our experience as well - that it’s mostly about the number of credits needed to graduate on time rather than the number of classes. And if labs or clinical are involved, that’s a different set of math (to figure out how many to take each semester). Some degrees have very scripted 4-year plans and any deviation can sometimes cause unforeseen havoc.[/quote]
