How many credits do you get for one semester of a class in high school?

Answer 1: At most US regionally-accredited colleges and universities, a student is considered "full-time" if s/he takes 12 semester credit hours (four 3-semester-credit-hour courses) in a semester. However, if that's all s/he takes, then s/he will have to take summer sessions in order to finish-up in four years.The normative number of credits that "full-time" students take is 15 semester credit hours (five 3-semester-credit-hour courses) in a semester. Taking that number of courses per semester will allow the student to finish-up in four years, without having to take any summer sessions.At most schools, a "full-time" student may take 18 semester credit hours (six 3-semester credit hour courses) per semester, but at some schools s/he is required to get permission to so do. So, 18 semester credit hours per semester is typically the most that most schools will allow any student to take. Trust me, that's a lot of courses in a single semester. Even a smart student would be challenged by 18 semester credit hours in a single semester.Truth is, many schools allow students to only occasionally take 18 semester credit hours in a single semester; and even then, there has to be a good reason. For example, if the student had a good reason to take only 12 hours one semester, and then wanted to get caught-up the following semester so that s/he wouldn't have to attend a summer session, then the school will usually allow it......but, even then, only if the semester with 18 semester credit hours in it didn't contain too many difficult courses.All that said, if the student is exceptional, and has demonstrated that s/he can get high grades even when routinely taking 18 semester credit hours per semester, then the school may allow him/her to just go ahead and do that every semester; thereby allowing him/her to finish his/her degree in only a little over three years... maybe three years, plus a summer session.It all just depends on the school and the student. Generally speaking, though, it's not advisable to take more than 5 three-semester-credit-hour courses (for a total of 15 semester credit hours) per semester.
