Application of Summer Credits: Day
If over 2 academic years, a day student completed 57 credits, the normal minimum credit hour
requirement for the 2017-2018 academic year is 27 credits. If the student also completed credits
through Suffolk programs such as Summer Boston, Summer Galway or International
Externships over the summer, these credits can be applied to the final semester as follows:
Fall 2017
15 credits
Spring 2018
OR
Fall 2017
15 credits
Spring 2018
12
- 3 Summer Credits
12
- 4 Summer Credits
= 9 Credits required
= 8 Credits required
Day students who enroll in less than 10 credits in a semester pay tuition on a per credit hour
basis. Day students are cautioned not to reduce final semester credits to less than 5 credits.
Continued deferment of past Federal Loans is based on students’ maintaining half-time status.
Day students who completed summer school credits at a non-Suffolk program may only
reduce the final semester to no less than 10 credits
. Summer school credits completed as part
of Track I or II do not qualify for a reduced program in the spring semester of the final year.
Day students who register for 10 or more credits in a semester will be charged tuition at the
regular rate.
*DAY STUDENTS MAY NOT USE SUMMER SCHOOL CREDITS TO ELIMINATE
THEIR FINAL SEMESTER

Student Financial Services Officeto ensure that a reduced course
load will not negatively impact financial aid eligibility.
