Can someone answer this question? I am in the same situation. Do you only need 1 year with 30 credit unit (5 courses each semester)? Is this a strict requirement?

Yup. No exceptions. 8 courses/year is not full courseload, you MUST have do 10 courses and I'm fairly certain that is September-April inclusive.

However, it's only one year with 10 courses so if you have only done 4/4 in the past (and you have 60 total credits) the year you are applying you can do full 5/5, provided you let them know and give them proof via transcript. Otherwise they send you a letter saying you're ineligible.

Is it 30 just credits combined, or does it have to be a minimum of 5 3 credit classes EACH semester.

 

I am trying to figure out of my past year would qualify for the 30 credits for 1 year requirement.

 

(I am in a semester system so 5 full year 3 credit courses does not apply)

 

Fall 2008 Semester:

 

14 credits

 

histology 4 credits

Biomedical engineering 2 credits

Political Science senior honors thesis 4 credits

Political Science Directed Study 1 credit

Writing Intensive Pass/Fail- Pass

Personality- 3 Credits

 

- TOTAL CREDITS FALL 2008 14

 

Winter 2009

 

Medical Anthropology-3 credits

Honors directed study- 4 credits

Nutrition and Food Sciences-3

Abnormal Psych-4

Honors Directed Study-4

 

TOTAL WINTER 2009=18 CREDITS

 

TOTAL BOTH SEMESTER (SEPT-APRIL)=32

 

Will this count?
