(i) Students must formally register for all courses. In the Faculties of Arts, Commerce and Science (excluding Engineering), the normal load in an academic session for a full-time undergraduate is fifteen (15) credit hours per semester; while in the Division of Engineering, eighteen (18) credit hours per semester constitute a normal full-time load.
Undergraduate students registered for at least nine (9) credit hours in a semester are considered to be full-time, while students registered for fewer than nine (9) credit hours per semester are part-time. During the same academic year, it is possible for students to be full-time in one semester and part-time in the other.
(ii) Students who have earned at least thirty (30) credit hours at Saint Mary’s may elect to take up to an additional six (6) credit hours in the regular academic year. Permission is not required for such an overload.
(iii) Students may take up to nine (9) credit hours during any one summer term, i.e., May to June or July to August at Saint Mary’s, on Letter(s) of Permission, or a combination of these.
