The customary graduate level full-time course load is two courses per term. Requests to take more than two courses per term must be made in writing to the Academic Director for approval. For any credit overload, the student should discuss the new tuition charges with Student Financial Services. The Master in Physician Assistant Studies, the Doctor of Physical Therapy, the Master's Entry Program in Nursing, and the Accelerated/Business programs require variable course loads and do not need additional approval.
