Maximum Course Load

Fall/Spring enrollment

If you enroll in 12 or more credit hours, you are considered a full-time student. The normal course load is 15 credit hours. GBC considers 18 credit hours a heavy load. Special permission from your academic advisor is required to enroll in more than 18 credit hours during the fall or spring semesters.

Summer Enrollment

If you enroll in 6 or more credit hours, you are considered a full-time student during the summer term. Because summer courses are accelerated to fit the shorter term, GBC considers 6 credit hours a heavy load. Special permission from your academic advisor is required to enroll in more than 9 credit hours during the summer semester.
