Credit Course Load Policy

PCCC limits the number of credits a student can take each semester as follows:

A maximum of 18 credits for each of the Fall and Spring semesters inclusive of all terms (15-week, 12-week, 6.5-week, etc.)
The 6.5 terms have a limit of 7 credits each.
A maximum of 14 credits for the summer inclusive of SU1, SU2, SU3 terms. Each term has a limit of 7 credits.
A maximum of one course up to 4 credits for the Wintersession.

These limits are based on class time and U.S. Department of Education mandates on school work expectations outside the classroom. Students requesting to register in excess of these credit limits may appeal in writing to the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs.
