The minimum credit load for a full-time undergraduate is twelve (12) semester hours; however, students normally carry 15-18 semester hours. Students who wish to carry more than 18 semester hours or take more than 5 classes must secure written permission from their academic advisor and the Vice Rector prior to registration. Students making such a request are expected to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00. Students with hostel accommodation must carry a minimum of 12 semester hours i.e. they must be full-time students. Any student taking 19 or more credit hours needs to see the Vice Rector for prior permission and will be charged an extra Rs. 2,000 per credit.
