<p>In the most general terms, a “normal” course will carry 3 (sometime 2, sometimes 4) credit hours a term (usually but not always means the number of in-class hours the class meets each week) so in a term one might expect to take 15 credit(hours). A more robust schedule might be 18 credit(hours). Above 18 credits per semester, you’ll be billed an additional (and hefty for OOS) tuition overload fee.</p>
<p>Transferring credits in usually doesn’t net students “quite” as much value as they think insofaras degree reqs generally must be taken at UMich, as must some of the general distribution classes. So it really depends on the degree to discover how many AP or otherwise accelerated classes will be meaningful in terms of transferring them in. Sometimes, the value of transferring them is not worth it – eg. once you’re past 60 credits, you pay a higher tuition rate. If the courses don’t actually fulfill degree requirements, they’re not worth transferring in (IMHO).</p>
