During your first three years you pretty much have to take 15 credits. Even if you test out of some of your classes first year, they really try to get you to take 15 credits. Second semester is 17, so they may let you drop to 14 then. But honestly, first year classes are pretty much as easy as you get in the e-school (except some higher level courses because the classes are so small). You’ll want to use the time to adjust. Take an interesting, easy elective to fill in the credits. However, the way the courses are laid out, second and third year you can expect 15-18 credits every semester. There’s really no reason to not do 15 anyways…

Your last year, yes, you can slide. I took 14 both semesters (4 classes) and they let me slide because I was over graduation requirements as it was. But the rest of the semesters, unless you’re doing poorly, most of the time they won’t let you drop below the 15.
