Course load denotes the total weight of the credits in which a student is enroled determining part-time or full-time status.
The amount of study you are enrolled in for a given semester. This is shown as the number of credit points you will earn for all your subjects in that semester.
The number of hours the student is permitted to schedule in a given semester or quarter. For full-time students this is usually 16-18 hours on a semester system, and 15-16 hours on a quarter system.

International students on F and J nonimmigrant status are required by U.S. Immigration to carry a "full course load" (12 credit hours for undergraduates; 8 for graduates) to maintain their status. Exceptions to this rule must be approved in writing by an academic advisor. The Reduced Course Load form can be obtained in International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) It must be filled out and signed by your academic adviser and returned to the ISSS Office.
Number of credit hours a student carries in a session.
