15 to Finish

Student Impact

Take 15 credits per semester and SAVE MONEY! Why earn 12 credits when you can earn 15 for the same tuition? You'll save money, since taking 15 credits is the same cost as taking 12 credits. You're getting 3 credits for FREE!

You're more likely to graduate on time and get better grades if you're a full-time student earning 15 credits per semester. Start with a plan to earn the degree you want, and stick to it.

When you finish college on time, you're more likely to start your career on time and begin earning a livelihood sooner.


How to Graduate on Time....

COMMIT

College is a commitment. Earning 15 credits per semester may not be easy, but it will give you the advantage of graduating on time and getting ahead. Know the courses you need to graduate, and meet with your advisor to map out a plan to earn your degree on time.

MEET WITH YOUR ADVISOR

Before registering each semester, talk to your academic advisor and ensure that the courses you take will count toward completing your major.

WORK ON CAMPUS

If you have to work, consider working on campus while taking 15 credits. You'll have more flexibility in your schedule and will have a shorter commute time than if you work off campus.

FRESHMAN ENGLISH & MATH

Be ready for freshman English and Math, and take these courses as part of your first year of college. Students who take 15 credits per semester and complete their English and Math courses early are more likely to graduate on time.

STUDENT AID

Fill out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), the application used by nearly all colleges and universities to determine eligibility for federal, state, and college-sponsored financial aid, including grants, educational loans, and work-study programs. You may be eligible for grants and free gift aid which do not have to be paid-back. With financial assistance, you can concentrate on your studies, work fewer hours and finish college faster.

ASK FOR HELP

Be proactive and ask for help. On campus, you're surrounded with people and resources with the purpose of helping you get your degree. Ask for help from professors, teaching assistants, academic advisors and even fellow students when you need it. Explore the resources available on campus and find a tutor if required.

SUMMER COURSES

Take summer classes! Even if you can't take 15 credits a semester, take summer classes to stay on track. Make sure you are enrolled in 30 hours per year.

SCHEDULE

Register for at least 15 credit hours each semester.
15 credits x 8 semesters = 120 credit hours
