Maximum Credit Limits

Ensign College values academic learning. While some students may be able to manage more credits, Ensign College has identified the maximum number of credits a student may attempt for a given semester as 18 credits. Students may register for up to 18 credits per semester, no more than 9 credits in each 7-week block.

Any student wishing to register for more than 18 credits (or more than 9 credits in a block) will need to complete the Exception to Academic Policy Form. Only requests from students with a strong academic record will be considered.
