Date of most recent changes: January 20, 2010
I. Policy Statement
Students at Onondaga Community College may register for a maximum of 19 credit hours during the fall/spring semester. Summer session students may register for a maximum of 8 credit hours during a 5-week session or 11 credit hours during a 10-week session. Summer registration in both 5-week and full summer sessions will not include more than 9 credit hours concurrently.
For course sessions other than those above, the maximum number of credits for which a student may register is equal to the number of weeks in the session.
II. Reason for Policy
This policy sets forth the maximum course load for which full-time students may register, and is designed to ensure fair and efficient deployment of the College’s academic resources
III. Applicability of the Policy
This policy applies to all full-time OCC students. A part-time student is, by definition, enrolled in fewer than 12 credit hours/equivalent credit hours during the fall/spring semester.
