The short answer to this question would be: Check with your school.

For a more thorough answer...

This depends on a number of factors, thought the ones which should be most strongly considered are the policies at the school which you attend, and your personal preferences and abilities.

Some institutions require a minimum of 12 credit hours for full-time students. This is generally most easily accomplished by taking 4 classes at 3 credit hours each, or 3 classes at 4 credit hours each.

Meanwhile, some schools can require as many as 15 credit hours before considering a student to be full-time. As most classes are either 1, 3, or 4 credits, this can be slightly more difficult to juggle, and fitting the proper classes into your personal schedule can be more difficult.

When selecting your courses, do consider your personal life. What you are and are not willing to change about your sleep schedule, study habits, work schedule (if any), and usage of your free time can either dictate or help you select what classes are right for you and when.

This answer assumes you live and attend school in the U.S. or Canada. Your institution's requirements and expectations may vary by country, or in some cases, even by state or province. Rule number one should always be 'check with your school!'

This greatly depends on the institution, so please consult your student handbook.
