Breaking it down further, most college courses at schools with semesters are worth three credit hours. So on average, you would expect to take five classes a semester. That's above the usual minimum, which is 12 hours, and below the maximum, which is normally 18.
Extenuating circumstances are serious, unforeseen circumstances beyond your control (ie. serious illness, family bereavement, etc) which prevent you from meeting the requirements of your programme.
Undergraduate students are limited in the number of courses they may drop during their academic career. (This refers to drops processed after the fifth day of classes of each semester.) All students are allowed to drop a maximum of five courses during their undergraduate career.

12 semester hoursFull-time enrollment is 12 semester hours for undergraduate students and nine semester hours for graduate students. Undergraduate students must be registered full time (at least 12 semester hours) to receive the maximum amount of any grant.
