The normal enrollment pattern enables a student to complete the graduation requirements in four years by scheduling eight courses per year. Payment of the Academic Comprehensive Fee entitles a student to register as a full-time student in at least three and, normally, not more than five and one-half course units during any semester that the student is enrolled at Gettysburg or in an affiliated program. Any student who is a candidate for a degree may not take fewer than three course units nor more than five course units in a fall or spring semester without the approval of the Academic Standing Committee.
