Art classes are 3 credits for 6 hours of class, divided into two 3-hour sessions either M/W or T/Th.

I’m not sure what the second part of that means, maybe that classes taken not in the college of art follow the typical 1 credit per 1 hour of class model? Which is true.

If you’re going to be a first semester art student, please keep in mind that you definitely do NOT want to exceed the recommended 15 credits of class (16 technically because I believe you still have to take the 1-credit “Practices” course on Fridays). I took the 16 credits my freshman fall, and doing that you end up taking almost a full day (as in, 24 hours) of class a week. Then add in extracurriculars, outside studio time, homework, etc. and it can be very overwhelming. Be smart and don’t push your limits to much your first semester. You have plenty of time for tthat!
