2019-2020 Registration Guide

Application of Summer Credits: Day If over 2 academic years, a day student completed 57 credits, the normal minimum credit hour requirement for the 2019-2020 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:

Spring 2020

Spring 2020

Fall 2019 15 credits

Fall 2019 12 credits

15 - 6 Summer Credits

12 - 3 Summer Credits

OR

= 9 Credits required

= 9 Credits required

Summer credits may not be used to reduce a day division student’s course load to fewer than 10 credits, unless the student has enrolled in at least one Suffolk summer session and earned at least 3 credits through such summer study. 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 Students should contact the Student Financial Services Office to ensure that a reduced course load will not negatively impact financial aid eligibility.
