Workload

Whether you are studying on-campus or by distance education most courses are designed to take approximately 150 -160 hours over 13 weeks. This means that on average you should be spending 12 hours per week studying for each course. 

A full load for on-campus students is four courses each semester whereas a full load for distance education students two courses. Lighter loads are possible but you should consult with your Faculty Program Administrator on the best strategy for you.

The key to success is to manage your time well. If you are uncertain how to do this see how to develop weekly and semester plans.
