How to Register for Courses

Fall 2024 Registration

Fall registration will open on July 11th. At that time, please send us the required information (see below) to request your permission code(s).

How Many Classes Should Students Take?

  1. Consider how many hours you work a week. Don't forget to count time spent commuting and on work while you are at home or otherwise not in the office.
    • How many hours do you work a week?
    • How long do you spend commuting to and from work?
  2. Consider your family/home responsibilities. Do you have children or are you a caregiver for someone in your family? Are you currently helping your children with remote/virtual learning?
    • What family/home responsibilities do you have?
  3. Consider financial aid requirements. In order to receive financial aid, you must be enrolled at least half-time, which is 5 semester credit hours. This means you will need to enroll in 2 classes per semester in order to receive financial aid.
  4. Plan to spend at least 9 hours a week on each course you enroll in. This means if you take two classes, you should plan to spend at least 18 hours a week on schoolwork. If you take three classes, you should plan to spend at least 27 hours a week on schoolwork.
    During the 10-week summer semester, please plan to spend at least 14 hours a week on each course you enroll in.
    • How many hours a week can you devote to schoolwork?
  5. Plan for success. Students are often surprised that graduate coursework requires significantly more time, contemplation, and independent work than their undergraduate classes. Therefore, because we want all our students to be successful and pass their courses, and given that we are still experiencing a pandemic that sometimes causes unexpected changes in our schedules, we recommend taking a lighter, rather than a heavier load.
    • We recommend that your coursework plus work hours not exceed 60 hours of work per week.

If you are unsure about how many classes to take after reviewing this information, please email BAO@unt.edu with any questions you may have or to set up a Zoom or phone appointment for advising.
