Full time students typically enroll in 12-18 credit hours per semester. For financial aid and scholarship purposes, a full-time student is defined as one enrolled in 12 or more credit hours. Students may enroll in up to 22 academic credits in a single semester if they meet the following criteria:
- Current GCC Student - Completion of 12 or more credits at Gila Community College with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher.
- Transfer Student – Completion of 12 or more credits from the transferring institution with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher.
If a student does not meet the above criteria and is currently enrolled in 12 or more credits at Gila Community College, the student may petition for an overload allowance up to 22 credit hours for the subsequent semester. Other academic standards consequences may apply.
Students who wish to enroll in more than 22 credits for a regular semester must petition the Admissions and Academic Standards Committee for additional overload consideration.
