Can I take an 8-week class in the same semester I am taking 16-week classes?

Yes, classes can be taken in an 8- and 16-week session at the same time. Prior to registering for classes, be sure to determine the total number of hours you need each week to complete coursework.

For example, if you are taking 12 credits during a traditional 16-week semester, you can expect to spend approximately 30 hours on coursework each week during that 16-week period.

If you are taking 12 credits during a traditional 16-week semester, you can expect to spend approximately 30 hours on coursework each week during an 8-week period.

If you take 12 credits, with 6 credits in a 16-week semester and 6 credits in an 8-week session at the same time, you can expect to spend approximately 45 hours per week for your coursework during the 8-week period.

If you take 12 credits with 6 credits as part of the traditional 16-week semester and 6 credits as part of an 8-week session simultaneously, you can expect to spend approximately 45 hours on coursework per week during that 8-week period.
