Freshmen are not allowed to enroll in
upper division courses unless evidence of
competency (such as CLEP or advanced
standing) is offered in lieu of undergraduate
introductory courses.
The semester hour is the unit of course
credit at Hardin-Simmons University. Ordinarily,
a semester hour credit is based
upon one 50-minute class period or two or
more hours in the laboratory/studio per
week throughout a semester. Accordingly,
a course carrying a credit value of 3
semester hours would ordinarily meet for
three 50-minute periods each week or in
two sessions of one and one-quarter
hours each. The number of semester,
class, and laboratory/studio hours is indicated
by the numbers in parentheses following
the title of each course. The first
number indicates semester hours, the
second class hours, and the third lab/studio
hours. For example, a 4-semester hour
course involving three hours of lecture
plus two hours of lab per week will show
that information as (4-3-2). An X in the lab
space indicates a variable, optional, or
field activity noted in the course
description.
Course Load
The normal course load for an undergraduate
student is 15-17 semester hours
during a fall or spring semester. Any student,
however, may register for an overload
(more than 17 semester hours) if
he/she falls into one of the following
categories:
1. An entering freshman student graduating
from an accredited high school
who has an ACT composite score of 27
or above or who has a total SAT score
of at least 1100 may enroll for a maximum
of 18 semester hours.2. A student who has completed at least
15 semester hours in the preceding
long semester with a grade point average
of 3.00 or higher for that semester
may enroll for a maximum of 18 semester
hours.
3. A student who has completed at least
15 semester hours in the preceding
long semester with a grade point average
of 3.50 or higher for that semester
may enroll for a maximum of 20 semester
hours.
All of the above provisions for permitting
overload enrollment are contingent upon
the approval of the student's advisor.
In order to be considered full time, a
student must enroll in a minimum of 12
semester hours during a long semester
and 4 semester hours during any summerIJ
