Curriculum and Course Sequencing

11. University of Denver System
Definition of a quarter credit hour
What does the quarter system look like?
To keep in mind about the quarter system:
Time management is critical!

12. Course Loads Average course load Full-time status and tuition
Plan to register for at least 16 credits total, or 4 classes (FSEM plus 3 other classes)
If you drop a class, would still be a full-time student at 12 credits/3 classes
Dropping below full-time status could impact your financial aid package, on-campus housing, and/or DU health insurance
Deadlines for adding or dropping classes can be found on the Registrar’s website
Dropping past week 1 incurs a “W” on your transcript
Full-time status and tuition
Full time status tuition flat rate is for credits
Pay per credit over 18 credit hours
20-21 hours requires approval – cannot do this your first quarter

13. Curriculum for Daniels Undergraduate Students
