Question: How many classes can I take in Summer II?

I have lots of time on my hands for the work, and I would like to sign up for at least 4 classes, will a community college (Paris Junior College to be specific) let me sign up for that many in Summer II?

Best Answer

Each college has its own policies concerning the number of credit hours a student may take within a given period. You did not state how many weeks Summer II is at your college but a rough rule of thumb is that you may take one hour per week of instruction plus possibly one or two hours. So, ordinarily, in a summer program of five weeks you should plan to take no more than six semester hours, which is usually two courses. You will get much better grades if you do not overload yourself. s To learn exactly how many hours you may enroll for, contact your college's registrar.
