Full time or part time. You may also have to maintain full time status. For most colleges that is 12 credits .... 4x3credit classes.

I would start with 12 hours per semester, you can adjust from there. Wait, you plan on night classes due to the military obligation?

Yes sir... my main reason for asking is so i can figure out a limit for myself and not get overwhelmed. Also considering online classes as well.

That was my advice to my son, when he entered as a Freshman -- minimum to be a full-time student. My experience was that they really poured on the academic demands on Freshmen, on the theory that it would be better to "thin out the herd" early. No sense in biting off more than you can chew.

SGT (Join to see) Start out with two or three classes the first semester and see how it goes. it also depends on how hard the classes are and if there are labs, plus how many hours you can take and also maintain your Army commitment. After I was discharged, I worked shift work (42 hours a week) and managed to take 12 hours a semester. I obtained my degree in five and a half years.
