Pace to Completion

To ensure federal compliance, students who enroll in a degree program and have earned 124* credits or more, including transfer and regular credits, should be on an academic plan or applying for graduation, at which time a credit evaluation will be completed.

*For undergraduate students to reach 124 credits, enrollment will be approximately 16 credits each fall and spring semester for four years.

  • If the remaining credits needed to complete the bachelor's degree plus the credits already attempted will cause the student to exceed the 186 maximum allowable attempted credits, the student will be required to complete a petition.

  • Students are no longer eligible for financial assistance once they have received 186 undergraduate credits during their academic career or after they have graduated.

  • The exception to this is enrollment in the fifth-year internship program through the education department, which occurs after a student graduates.
