Academic Credits

The credit or semester hour of credit is the unit of academic measurement at Earlham. Normally, a full-time student will earn 30-32 credits annually. With approval from the academic adviser, a student may take as few as 12 or as many as 18 credits during a single semester. Students who enroll in more than 18 credits should expect to pay an additional tuition fee.
