Will I be able to register for a full course load?

The content for Accelerated C Term courses is the same as full semester sixteen-week courses, but Accelerated C Term courses move at a much quicker pace. Due to limited course offerings, it is unlikely that you will have a full course load. When creating your schedule, you should consider factors such as personal obligations and your work schedule. Additionally, you should consider the amount of time required to study and complete assignments for each course.
