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.

If you only need 23 credits to graduate in Michigan why is the High school in Evart Michigan telling us need 27 and a half?
Every school district is able to determine the amount of credits needed based on their programs. When my district went from classic schedule to "block" scheduling, the required credits went up. My school in Michigan goes by semester, so the class of 2012 only needs twenty two credits, so our credits are lower in number but are harder to acheive.

What happens when you fail math class freshman year and have to take it over again. do you have to re-take it all year or is it just for a semester or something?
I am not clear if you are asking about a college math class or high school math class. If it is college you take it for one semester. Some math classes are divided into two parts and you take one the first semester and then the second half the next semester. If this is high school it could be for the entire year.
