full time student is considered as 12-18 credits.
I have 5 classes for a total of 17 credits, so I am assuming you will be just fine.

12-18 semester hours per semester is a typical undergraduate full-time load.
It's not about the number of classes, it's about the number of semester hours.
Each class has a different number of hours based on how many hours it meets per week.
Most classes are 3 hours. That's the normal. But some are 1 and some are 6 and I took some required classes in my BA that were 0.
So, someone who has a full time load of 1 and 2 hour classes might be taking 10 classes per semester while someone with some heavy science and math courses at 5 each would take 3 to get the same amount of credit.
Almost universally though -- taking 4-5 classes will land you 12-18 semester hours.
To finish a degree "on-time" (associates in 2-years and bachelor's in 4-years) you need to average out at about 15 semester hours per year. 5 three-hour classes every semester.
Our peers who do 12 hours all the time are said to be "on the five-year plan" and those who never want to leave.... we're professional students.

Full time students take 12 or more credits, but you need special permission to take 18 or more credits in general. Most classes are 3 or 4 credits, so taking 4 or 5 would be perfect for full time.

The minimum # of credit hours for full time status is 12 semester credit hours. Most people get used to taking anywhere from 12 - 18 cr hrs. in order to complete their degree on time.

Full time is coonsidered 12-17 semester hours (not sure what that is on the quarter system). If you take 4-5 classes, chances are you will be full time.

full time is usually 12 or more units. each class is usually 3 or 4 units. 5 units for the harder classes. that's how most city colleges are. not sure about yours.

a million. it somewhat is Texas. Texas is crammed with conservatives that act like they're a libertarian. 2. little ones have self assurance that folk ought to be waiting to do despite they desire and rattling the implications. fairly some those that decision themselves liberals are no longer probably liberals. they are purely extra lenient socially than the conservatives. 3. little ones are additionally naive. Your assertion which you have been formally a liberal, yet you're actually a libertarian because you think the loose industry works extra useful than "socialism" says all of it. you have no longer any theory what you're speaking approximately.
