Typically, 15 credits is the average, although full time status at most schools only requires 12 credits. Most schools have a maximum threshold, and to attempt more credits than this number would require an academic advisor's approval.

However, a semester is not measured by the number of credits, but by the time that passes. A fall semester may start after Labor Day, and end a few days before Christmas; spring semester may start at the end of January, with graduation in late May. Winter and summer sessions (usually two) are compressed to fit the shorter amount of time available.

How many semesters does college of dupage have in one year?

All colleges and universities in the United States which are on the "semester credit hour" system (which is most of them) have two (2) semesters per calendar year; plus, usually, one to three (typically two... but it depends on the school) summer sessions.A typical full-time college student takes 15 semester credit hours per semester, and no courses during the summer sessions (unless s/he's trying to graduate early or something)......or 12 semester credit hours per semester, plus 6 semester credit hours during the summer sessions......in either case, the goal being to accumulate 30 semester credit hours during the calendar year. Unless the student does that, then s/he cannot graduate in four years (which requires 120 semester credit hours for the entire bachelors degee).
