<p>About the class limit in the short summer session, do I have to take two? Or can I just take one?</p>

<p>You must take exactly 6 credit hours.</p>

<p>“Important notes for new freshmen enrolling in the short summer session:
• New freshmen are expected to take six semester hours during the late short summer session. Due to the compressed format of this session, freshmen will not be allowed to take more than 6 credit hours to ensure that they are appropriately challenged by the courses but not overwhelmed by the amount of work. Requiring them to take no less than 6 hours will ensure a quality and realistic academic introduction to Tech and allows them to be eligible for financial aid if they quality for it. This is why 6 credit hours are required of all incoming freshmen.
• New freshmen will not be pre‐registered. It will be their responsibility to select two courses (6 credits) for the late short session. Academic advisors will meet with students prior to registration. In addition, Registrar’s Office staff will be available during the registration period to assist students and answer questions.”

<p>What is your reasoning for wanting to take fewer than six hours?</p>

<p>well bummer. I do want to get ahead in the summer, but I’d like to just do one class. According to the schedule that accompanies that list, the first set of classes get out at 11:20? I could just take one and be home by noon. Which is more of my prime time to start my summer day.</p>
