<p>That’s only ~16 credits per semester for all four years. Most classes are 4 credits a piece, so you’ll likely be taking four classes per semester.</p>
<p>It’s not that bad.</p>
<p>yea, but consider im a transfer…i had an ave of 15cre per semester, which would perfectly make me a 120 to graduate. now i have to catch up a lot. Especially SOM needs 130.</p>
<p>What is the max number of credits per semester anyways?</p>

Program Load</p>
<p>The term “full-time student” is applied to a person carrying 12 or more credits, excluding audited courses. Full-time students attending Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, Decker School of Nursing, or School of Management normally enroll in four courses each semester. Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science students and students in the College of Community and Public Affairs are considered full time if they register for 12 or more credits each semester. All courses, except where indicated in the Bulletin, carry four credits. Outside reading and study are required to complete classroom assignments. Students are also expected to meet several times each semester with the instructor to obtain supervision and periodic evaluation of work done outside of regularly scheduled classes.</p>
<p>There is no rigid pattern of class meetings. In such courses as beginning languages and sciences, a course may have classes and laboratory sessions five or six hours a week. Other courses may meet three or four hours a week. Four-credit courses that meet less than four hours per week require one or two hours per week of independent or tutorial work under the guidance of the faculty, or other additional course-related activities. As noted above, however, time spent in the classroom is only a part of the student’s workload. In general a “course” represents the pursuit of a skill or a body of knowledge that engages approximately 25 percent of the formal academic effort of a full-time student during the semester.</p>
<p>Undergraduate students are allowed to register for no more than 18 credit hours, unless they have filed an academic petition form for an overload. Petitions to register for an overload are considered on an individual basis when submitted to the appropriate academic advising office.

<p>from binghamton bulletin [University</a> Bulletin - 1](<a href=“http://bulletin.binghamton.edu/program.asp?program_id=1006]University ”>http://bulletin.binghamton.edu/program.asp?program_id=1006 )</p>
<p>You can overload to 20 or something, I think.</p>
<p>Yeah I believe you can take 20, but not your first year since they won’t allow you. Or maybe it’s first semester…</p>
