The normal course load is four academic courses per semester. The minimum course load for full-time students is 12 credits. Upon petition, an undergraduate student who has earned a cumulative GPA of at least 2.80 in courses taken at AUP may be permitted to register for five four-credit courses. It is generally not recommended that graduate students enroll in more than four courses in a semester, and no student can take an overload in their first semester at AUP. Credit overload Petitions are available on the Academic Forms webpage. Students can take a one-or two-credit course without paying an overload charge if their total semester credit load is 18 or fewer. If the total semester credit load exceeds 18 credits, overloads are charged per credit for the entirety of the additional course. For example, if students register for a fifth, four-credit course, totaling 20 semester credits, they will be billed for the entire fifth course (i.e., four credits).
