How many credit hours should I be taking? And what is the minimum and maximum course load allowed during a given semester?</p>
<p>Students normally enroll for 16 academic credit hours (4 courses) and often take one credit academic electives such as music or dance courses. Health/PE courses count as one credit non-academic credit courses. Sometimes students in consultation with their advisors choose to enroll in fewer credit hours to balance their schedules or more credit hours to achieve a particular academic goal. </p>
<p>Students may not enroll in fewer than 12 credit hours, as Emory does not permit part-time status. However, students who will be graduating at the end of the subsequent semester may enroll in as few as one credit hour. Tuition below 12 credit hours will be charged on a per credit hour basis. In order to take fewer than 12 credit hours, students must complete an underload form in the Office for Undergraduate Education, 300 White Hall. </p>
<p>If a student has an Emory grade point average (GPA) greater than 3.0 or will be graduating at the end of the subsequent semester, he or she may enroll in up to 22 total credit hours. If the student has a GPA of less than 3.0 he or she may enroll in up to 19 academic credit hours plus up to three non-academic credit hours. No exceptions will be made to this policy.</p>
<p>How do I overload my schedule in order to take more than 19 academic credit hours?</p>
<p>If you meet the criteria discussed above you may fill out an overload form and submit it to White Hall 300. If you attempt to register on OPUS for greater than the number of credit hours permitted, classes will be dropped from your schedule by the Office for Undergraduate Education before the end of the withdrawal period so that you are not above the permitted limit.</p>

<p>I believe Emory charges for an overload once a student registers for 22 or more hours for a semester.</p>
<p>Many semesters my son registered for 20 or 21 hours because of his academic program. It’s hard and the workload is killer. He didn’t do this as a first year student.</p>
<p>One of his friends did a lot of overloads and graduated in 3 years, saving a lot of money. He came in with a lot of credits and used them judiciously.</p>
<p>But before you do this to yourself, just enjoy your first year and see how you handle the workload.</p>
