Registration Policies

The University of Central Florida academic schedule consists of two semesters (Fall and Spring), and the Summer term. The graduation credit value of each course of instruction is stated in terms of credit hours. A semester hour of credit or credit hour represents one class hour of work (or two or more laboratory hours of work) per week for a semester. Classes may be offered for a six-week or nine-week session during the Summer term. During this shortened term, two class hours of work (or four or more laboratory hours of work) per week are required to represent a semester hour of credit.
