How many college credits do In need to take in semster to be a full time student?

It depends on whether or not you're willing to take courses during the summer months.If you are, then you need to take a minimum of 12 semester credit hours during each semester, plus 6 semester credit hours during the summer, in order to earn 30 semester credit hours of coursework during each calendar year.And you need to complete 30 semester credit hours per calendar year if you intend to earn a 120-semester-credit-hour bachelors degree in four years.The other way to do it is to take 15 semester credit hours per semester, and then no courses during the summer months. That's what most students do... then they go home for the summer, or get a summer job... that sort of thing.In any case, bottom line: a minimum of 12 semester credit hours per semester, plus 6 over the summer, is needed in order to be considered a "full-time" student......either that, or 15 semester credit hours per semester, and no courses during the summer. Take your pick.Some students try to graduate early, and so will take 18 semester credit hours each semester; and then, depending on how early they want to graduate, they take either no courses, or 3 to 6 semester credit hours (one to two courses) during the summer. That's very rough, though; and I do notrecommend taking that kind of very heavey course load! Do not do it, unless you're really, really, really smart, and are used to pretty much having no social life!
