Basics of College

• Courses are usually 3 credit hours and usually meet either two or three days a week.
• Certain classes are 4 credit hours due to a lab component. Labs are sometimes listed as a separate class, so read your course names carefully. For example, GLY 120 and GLYL 120. (If a class has a lab component, you will need to sign up for the lab and lecture at the exact same time. This will be covered in the SeaNet & Registration video.)
• Full-time students enroll in at least 12 credit hours, however students can only register for up to 10 hours during Early Registration.
• Students are encouraged to enroll in 14 - 16 hours each semester and can add further classes at Orientation.
• To graduate, students must complete 124 credit hours.
• The 124 hours are separated into the following parts and must be completed prior to graduation:
  • University Studies Curriculum requirements
  • Major requirements
  • Electives, depending on your major
