A credit hour is based on the estimated amount of time spent on a course each week. As a general starting point, you can multiply the credit hour count for a full semester course by 3 to get an idea of the workload each week (both time in class, and time outside of class). For example, for a 3 credit hour in-person class, you can expect to spend about 3 hours each week in class, and 3-6 hours outside of class working on reading, assignments, or studying. This will vary by class and by each student and their study habits and preferences. This also changes if you take a shorter course rather than a full-semester (16-week) course.

Twelve credit hours each semester constitutes a full-time course load.

To graduate in two years, most students need to take closer to 15-18 credit hours each semester. Twelve credit hours/semester will increase the amount of time it takes to earn an associate degree.

The number of credit hours you take is a personal decision and will depend on your commitments outside of school and your comfort level with your classes and coursework. Your Student Success Coach can discuss this with you and offer guidance to make this determination.

The maximum load is 19 credit hours. Students desiring to take more than 19 hours must receive permission from the dean of the school in which their declared program is housed.

Dropping a course means that the course doesn鈥檛 appear on a student鈥檚 transcript and the student doesn鈥檛 receive a W on his or her transcript. There is a limited window of time in which a course can be dropped, after the course has 番茄社区.

Check the or your specific course syllabus for the drop and withdrawal dates for each course.

To withdraw means to not complete a course. A 鈥淲鈥� appears on the transcript and it indicates that the course wasn鈥檛 completed. Grades of 鈥淲鈥� aren鈥檛 calculated into a student鈥檚 GPA, so in some cases a 鈥淲鈥� is more favorable than an 鈥淔.鈥� However, too many 鈥淲鈥� grades can be detrimental. These count as credits that were attempted but not completed, and these credits are calculated as part of a student鈥檚 completion rate for financial aid eligibility. Dropping courses can impact financial aid as well.

Before dropping or withdrawing from a course, it is recommended that students work with their Student Success Coach and the Student Hub to explore how the drop or withdrawal will impact their academic progress and their financial aid.

Academic probation occurs when a student鈥檚 cumulative GPA falls below 2.0. A student who finishes a semester with a cumulative GPA below a 2.0 will be put on probation status the following semester. During that probation semester, the student will work with their Student Success Coach to address their academic success and challenges, and improve their cumulative GPA. Students on probation must get their Student Success Coach鈥檚 signature to register for or withdraw from courses. 

Academic suspension occurs when a student鈥檚 cumulative GPA remains below 2.0 at the end of the probation semester. A student on suspension status is required to take one semester off from courses at 番茄社区. The student will be able to re-enroll at the College after a semester off and begin taking classes again. Students who took time off from classes due to suspension must reapply to 番茄社区. They will be in Good Academic Standing when they return. Summer semester grades are not calculated as part of a student鈥檚 probation or suspension status.

A student may appeal their Suspension status if they believe they have extenuating circumstances that added to their cumulative GPA history. The Academic Suspension Appeal Form may be found on the Academic Standing webpage.

Grade Point Average (GPA) is a calculation of grade points divided by completed credits. Grade points are calculated by multiplying a letter grade and the number of credits a class is worth. Each letter grade is worth a certain number of points. A = 4 points; B = 3 points; C = 2 points; D = 1 point; F = 0 points. So, a B grade in a 3-credit class is worth 9 points. 3 credits X 3 points = 9 points.

A semester GPA is calculated by determining the total grade points and dividing that number by the total number of completed credits. A cumulative GPA is the average of every semester GPA on record.

A GPA Calculator can be found here to assist with calculations (Excel spreadsheet).
