For degree students, the maximum credit amounts for classes through University+ vary depending on the term as follows:

  • Fall/Spring: 18 credits
  • Winter: 8 credits*
  • Summer:
    • Undergraduates: 16 credits total, up to 8 credits for each session
    • Graduates: 9 credits total

*Graduate-level students in Isenberg programs can only take 6 credits in the winter.
 

For non-degree students, the maximum credit amounts for classes through University+ vary depending on term as follows:

  • Fall/Spring: 
    • Undergraduates: 18 credits**
    • Graduates: 16 credits
  • Winter: 8 credits
  • Summer:
    • Undergraduates: 16 credits total (8 credits total within each session)
    • Graduates: 9 credits total

**During Fall/Spring, non-degree undergraduate students can take a maximum of 12 credits through the University session (primarily on-campus/in-person courses). This limit is strictly enforced and cannot be overridden.
 

Non-Degree students who wish to take additional credits should complete the Non-Degree Credit Overload Petition Form.

Note: If you are a non-degree, undergraduate-level student and wish to study full time (12 credits or more per term) on a regular basis, you should apply for admission to a degree-granting program.
