Limitations of Student Load

Students are not permitted to take any additional course work from Trevecca or other colleges while enrolled in the program, except by permission of the Student Success Advisor. Students may request permission to take additional course work when the adult education program course work is completed by completing the transient course work form prior to registration.

Students may take additional adult education courses during the program with the approval of their Student Success Advisor. It is the students’ responsibility to acquire approval from their Student Success Advisor before taking any course or completing any additional hours that may be applied toward the Trevecca Nazarene University degree. The University reserves the right to reject any course for a degree that has not been approved by the student's Student Success Advisor.

The normal course load is 12-15 credit hours per semester, taken one course at a time. After successful completion of the first semester, the Director of Student Success may approve the following:

  • Overlapping of courses provided the student's cumulative GPA is 2.70 or higher.
  • A course load of 16-18 hours provided the student's cumulative GPA is 2.70 or higher.
  • A course load of 19-21 hours provided the student's cumulative GPA is 3.00 or higher.
