Course load guide
2018/19 course load requirements
Loans, grants, and interest-free status all require students to be enrolled in at least 60% (80% for Newfoundland loans) of a full-time course load in each term.
You must maintain minimum enrolment in each term. For example: if the minimum course load for Winter Session is 18 credits, you have to be registered in at least 9 credits in Term 1 and 9 credits in Term 2 to meet requirements.
Please note that some programs run into the Summer Session, and may not fall into the standard schedule. Contact an Enrolment Services Professional (ESP) if you have questions about your course minimums or if you see “N/A” listed.
