Study Guidelines
Students are encouraged to plan in two hours of study time per credit hour into their semester schedules. The following would apply to a full-time student (12 credit hours):
12 hours in class x 2 hours of study = 24 hours of study
12 hours in class + 24 hours of study = 36 hours of class and study
Important Fact:
Overloading work / school hours is the #1 reason students do poorly, have to drop their classes and lose their money, or find themselves on academic probation or suspension!
