register for 19 or more hours with the written permission of the dean of the student's school. Permission must be secured in advance of and presented during registration (see Overload policy).
In a summer session, 7 hours per term is the maximum class load for which a student may register. A student may not register for more than 14 hours total during the summer sessions without the written permission of the dean of the student’s school.
The number of hours in which a student enrolls should be carefully considered in consultation with her/his advisor. As a general rule, a full- time class load of 15 hours is a commitment to a 40-hour week of attendance and out-of-class preparation/assignments.
Concurrent Enrollment
Texas Wesleyan University students who wish to enroll at another institution (concurrent enrollment) must have the written approval of the dean of their school before enrolling at another institution. When students request approval for concurrent enrollment, they must make certain to meet the required 45 hours in residency and any other residency requirements at Texas Wesleyan University. They must also make certain the selected course(s) will be accepted as transfer credit at Texas Wesleyan University. Permission forms for concurrent enrollment must be presented to the Office of Student Records for confirmation that the requested course(s) fulfills graduation requirements.
Conference Course
A conference course is a course taught by an instructor to an individual student. A student may enroll for a conference course only by approval of the instructor of the course, the dean of the school in which the conference course is offered, and the University Registrar. Approval is normally given only when the following requirements are met: (1) a conference course may be taken only in the last regular semester or summer term before the graduation of the student; (2) the course requested must be required for graduation; (3) the course is not scheduled to be taught that semester or term; (4) there is a conflict in schedule between two required courses during the last semester or term before graduation; and (5) the student must be enrolled in one or more regular courses in the University. At the dean’s discretion, exemptions may be made to approval criteria due to extenuating circumstances. An additional fee, dependent upon the number of credit hours, is charged for conference courses.
Course Credit
Academic credit assigned to a subject is expressed in semester hours. The credit-hour value of each course is indicated by the second digit in the course number. The number of hours a class meets each week is the same as the credit-hour value of the course, with some exceptions, such as laboratory-type courses. For a more complete description of course credit hours, see page 264 of the catalog.
