Be sure to check your disc to make sure it is flat. You can check this by putting the disc upside-down on a flat surface. If the disc is bowed up on any side or in the center, do not use the disc because it might get stuck in the drive.
What is the maximum number of credits I may take per semester? Freshmen may take a maximum of 17 credits per semester. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors may take a maximum of 18 credits per semester. Summer term maximum credits are: Summer Session I allows a maximum of 4 credits, Summer Session II allows 7 credits, and Summer Session III also allows 7 credits. Students who wish to exceed the maximum number of credits during any given semester must submit a credit overload form.
The average credit load per semester is 15 credit hours for institutions that operate on a two semester academic year. There are more than a few students who take on 18 credit hours. In some colleges and universities, permission from the VP of Academic Affairs is necessary to take more. However, you should know how much you can handle in good form. A lot of it also depends on the program of study and how intense the work is.
