<p>If you have credits coming in, I would certainly say that 12 credits is a fine amount. Personally, I will only take 15 credits twice out of my 8 semesters, taking 12 four times, 13 once, and 14 once.</p>
<p>However, if you don’t have credits, know that you have to average 15 credits a semester (15x8=120) to graduate on time. If you take fewer, you’ll have to make up a different semester (by taking 18) or take classes over the summer.</p>
