How many classes can I take each semester?
At UMGC, the number of classes you can take each semester depends on your program and credit limits.
- Undergraduate students may take up to 18 credits per semester without special approval.
- Graduate students may take up to 6 credits per semester without special approval.
If you'd like to take more than the standard limit, you can request a course overload. Course overloads are approved on a case-by-case basis, and you will need to be in good academic standing. For help deciding how many classes are right for you or to request a course overload, contact studentsfirst@umgc.edu.
