What is the maximum numer of credits you can have as an undergrad inFlorida?

Question

I know the minimum required to graduate is 120, but what is the most you can get before you have to graduate?

Answer 1

There is such a thing as the 'satisfactory progress rule' that can make a difference in financial aid programs. At most colleges, this is between 160 and 180 semester hours.

At that point, they assume that you intend to never graduate and you will be required to justify why you should be allowed any additional financial aid.

If you're paying your own bill, there's no limit. I have 196 semester hours undergraduate and have no problem taking additional courses at that level any time the mood strikes me. No federal loans or grants though; I have to pay the bill.

Generally speaking, unless you're a professional student, you should start seriously thinking about graduate study once you're around 160 hours. Undergraduate classes start being a little too basic at that point. 150 hours is five complete years. 180 is six complete years.

Answer 2

there is no maximum - as long as you want to keep plunking down the dollars to take classes, they'll take it, and you can keep on taking classes forever....

even if you have enough classes to graduate, no one will come forward and tell you. you need to go to the registrar's office to check that out. you might be closer than you think.

good luck
