Please see the Undergraduate Academic policy on Course Registration.

There are seven sessions per academic year. Students carrying 12 credit hours per term are classified as full-time. A term is classified as either Fall (Sessions 1-3); Spring (Sessions 4-6); and Summer (Session 7). FLEX students are advised to carefully weigh job, family, and other life obligations before committing to the heavy time investment required for a full-time class load.

In addition to spending 4 hours in class each week, a student should expect to receive an additional 2 hours and 40 minutes minimum of out-of-class instruction each week, usually delivered via Canvas, and should also expect to dedicate a minimum of 10-15 hours per week per FLEX class to completing such homework as reading and studying, conducting research, participating in group work, and completing assignments. Students may expect the same degree of rigor in an online class as they would expect in a hybrid or face-to-face class.
