I was thinking of adding an easier class... Thoughts?

Replies TigressaLynnMae Posted at 3:19 pm on July 28, 2008 if u do 15 creds a semester, ull graduate in 4 years Not in this day and age. 15 credits a semester is only 240 credit hours. Many degrees require more. bryce101 Posted at 4:00 am on July 25, 2008 if u do 15 creds a semester, ull graduate in 4 years. i took 13 creds my first and 12 my second so i could get a good gpa and get used to school.. now next year im taking 17 creds.. i think i can handle it because im used to school and know what to expect. first semester i was freaking out about everything, so i dont think a lot is good MrIndigo Posted at 8:56 pm on July 24, 2008 if you think you need it, then go for it. That doesn't look like that heavy of a load. TigressaLynnMae Posted at 7:27 pm on July 24, 2008 I would suggest adding a 3 credit course, that way, if you have to drop, you don't lose. gprime Posted at 6:43 pm on July 22, 2008 15 is a fairly standard credit load if you're completing a BA in four years, so I wouldn't worry about taking more just yet. Perhaps once you've had time not only to adjust, but to solidify your GPA and find your place on campus, you can take a heavier load. But unless your major/degree is highly rigid and sequential, and not adding another class will delay graduation, you're golden for now. Choker Posted at 5:18 pm on July 22, 2008 That is the thing, I don't know if I can handle it. My dad told me not to stack up during my first semester, because I have to get used to everything...but it seems like a waste of time if I don't.
