​No one is permitted to attend a class for which he or she has not been properly registered. Credit is accumulated on the basis of quarter hours. The unit of credit is one quarter hour granted for 45 minutes of classroom work a week. The normal class extends over a ten-week period (or an accelerated five-week period in the summer). All courses carry four quarter hours of credit (2 2/3 semester hours), unless otherwise noted.

For students fully employed, registration for no more than eight credit hours in a term is the suggested maximum.

Courses numbered 300 through 399 are advanced undergraduate courses. If listed in this catalog, they may be accepted for graduate credit within the limitations stipulated by the specific departmental chair or program director.
