<p>im going into college with 15 credits from AP's and really want to graduate in three years to save money.</p>
<p>how do I go about doing that if my university only lets me take up to 15 credits per semester. i need 120 credits and with my 15 credits i now only need 105.</p>
<p>you can graduate a semester early.</p>
<p>summer classes.</p>
<p>but either way- what school are you at where they cap the max credits at 15? I’d never be able to make 15 credits a semester exactly (because of labs, it would be 14 or 16), so it would be impossible to graduate in 4 years that way.</p>
<p>Get credits during the summer.<br>
Community colleges are a good (and cost-effective) way of taking care of some of your general ed requirements.
Check to see that there really, truly, is no way to petition for an overload. At every school I’ve gone to, there’s been a procedure for getting the Dean’s signature on an overload petition (if you have a certain class standing and your grades are good).</p>
<p>im a freshman at McGill university which is why my location is in montreal. i went to school in the US and no i dont want to graduate just a semester early. if i did i wouldve asked that. i want to know the best/cheapest way to do it. </p>
<p>i like going home in the summer and would like to do an internship each summer to build resume experience.</p>
<p>If you can only take 15 credits a semester, aren’t taking classes in the summer (unless maybe your internships can get you college credit) and you need 120 credits to graduate, then it looks like you’re not graduating a year early. </p>
<p>The only other recommendation would be to take classes online at another university while you’re taking classes at McGill. That’s what I did the first semester of my first year because it was the last semester that I was allowed to transfer credits from a CC.</p>
<p>15 incoming credits isn’t that many… jussayin’</p>

<p>Why would you be limited to 15 credits/semester? It sounds like after 20 you need an override. If it’s a monetary issue (can’t pay for the extra credits), then you either need to pony up the money or you won’t graduate in 3 years.</p>
<p>For what reason do you want to graduate in 3 years? Monetary? </p>
<p>Nothing against it; I’m doing it, but I just want to know why you want to. Especially because, like said, 15 incoming isn’t that many. The math just doesn’t work out if you can only take 15 credits a semester. You’d have to get an override, which you probably could. </p>
<p>Otherwise the math doesn’t work out, especially if you’re not willing to take summer classes.</p>
<p>it says in the very first sentence of the OP’s post why he/she wants to graduate early</p>
<p>If you really can’t take more than 15/semester there, and aren’t going to take summer classes, then you have to go somewhere else to graduate in 3 years. Simple as that.</p>
<p>im willing to do some summer classes i just need to get some good internship experience as well. at this point ill just try to graduate a semester early and tack on an extra major</p>
<p>Derp. Someone can’t read apparently. </p>
<p>I know you said to someone else that you didn’t want to just graduate a semester early, but that might be your only option if you want to save money. Or go part time senior year. What would be wrong with that? It’s not ideal, but it still saves some money. </p>
<p>If there really is a 15 credit limit, I’m with the override suggestion. It’s totally possible.</p>
