Maximum Course Load

A full-time course load is a minimum of twelve (12) and a maximum of eighteen (18) credits per semester. If an academic advisor and student determine that additional credits are necessary, written approval by a Associate Dean, Vice President of Instruction, or MCC Center Director is required.

Note: Certain Occupational/Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs approved by the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) may require students to take up to twenty-four (24) credit hours per term. For these programs, students are allowed to take all necessary courses without written approval.
