A credit hour is a measure of course credit based upon the number of hours of classroom or laboratory time per course, per week. The average number of credit hours a student carries each semester is 15, which allows you to graduate with 120 credit hours in four years.
In order to be considered a full-time student you must carry 12 credit hours or more per semester.
A student wishing to study part time at the University carries fewer than 12 credit hours.
The credit hour limit for an undergraduate student at UB is 19 credit hours per semester. Students wishing to register for more than 19 credit hours must consult with an academic advisor to receive an override.
