taking 6 courses in 1 semester

[detroitriver]

is this generally allowed? Im a first year unviersity student and Im going to be dropping a course so I was wondering if I would be able to take 6 next semester instead of 5 to help me catch up for the one im dropping. Im going to be taking a full load of summer school courses so thats not really an extra option. thanks.

depends on the school. I have been taking 5-6 courses every semester, around 19-21 credits. Ask you school.

I took 7 in one semester -- so as long as your school allows it, you can.

I usually take 6 since that equals the max # of credits we can take without paying more tuition. I do it just to get my $ worth though. And I like learning random stuff.

If your schools lets you there is no reason you shouldn't! Unless you don't think you can handle a large course-load. I usually pick one "easy" / "fun" class.

schools have diff rules.
at mine 19 is max but if you petition u can go up to 25. I usually petition and take around 21.

One semester i took 30 semester units. 25 at my instituion and ochem at a community college.

its possible. that semester i did better than all my other semester. 3.79gpa for that semester. brought my over all up pretty good.


good luck
