Nexford University's course load policy is designed to ensure a strong academic foundation and maximize your learning success. Here is a summary of the policy:
Initial Course Requirements
- Undergraduate Programs: All learners begin by taking one course at a time for their first eight courses.
- Graduate Programs: All learners begin by taking one course at a time for their first four courses.
Increasing Your Course Load (After Initial Courses)
After completing the initial course requirements, you may be eligible to enroll in two courses per term, provided you meet the following criteria:
- GPA Requirements:
- Undergraduate Programs: Maintain a cumulative GPA (CGPA) of 3.0 or higher.
- Graduate Programs: Maintain a cumulative GPA (CGPA) of 3.6 or higher.
- Financial Standing: Have no outstanding tuition balances.
Important Considerations
- Maximum Course Load: The maximum course load is now limited to two courses per term, regardless of your program or GPA.
- Capstone Courses: All capstone courses must be taken individually.
- Course Prerequisites: Learners may not concurrently enroll in two courses if one is a prerequisite to the other.
Taking the Next Step
If you meet the requirements outlined above and are interested in increasing your course load, we encourage you to schedule an advising session with your Success Advisor.
