Is 17 credits my first semester too much?

Hi LunaHunt,
My son will be at SIS too (and CBRS) so he’s also been considering these questions. I think he’ll be registering for 15 credits for the first semester, as he’ll also have a work study job to fit into his schedule.

One thought- with your APs you probably were able to satisfy the College Writing requirements and the University Math requirement? If not, they strongly advise getting those out of the way in your first year, before adding other courses.

With your APs, you’ve probably also received credit for a good number of General Education course requirements. That will free up time next semester and next year to aggressively pursue your Philosophy courses, I would think.

In any event, see #3 above.

If you don’t want to wait until your summer orientation session (if participating) or until school starts to speak with an Academic Advisor, they invite you to connect with them by email. Good luck!
