In the fall and spring semester, students must enroll in at least one course of three or more credit hours. Full-time status requires a minimum of 12 credit hours. The typical course load is 12-15 credit hours. Enrollment above 18 credit hours is subject to an additional per-credit overload fee.
Enrollment in January and/or summer terms is not mandatory to maintain enrollment at Randolph-Macon. The typical January term course load is three credit hours, with an overload fee applied for enrollment above seven credit hours. Students are encouraged to plan course loads each term to maintain steady progress toward the 120 credit hours required for graduation.
For purposes of determining full-time status, courses previously completed with a grade of D+ or lower may be repeated and will count at their normal credit hour
value. However, only the most recent attempt, if passed, counts toward credit hours required for graduation.
