Normal Progress & Financial Aid

The normal load for full-time students is 12 to 17 semester credits in the fall and spring semesters and three to five semester credits in Jan Term. Registration for less than a fulltime load will prevent a student from receiving some forms of financial aid. A student must average 31.5 credits per year in order to graduate in four years. The total number of semester credits required for graduation is 126. In order to remain under the catalog requirements in effect at the time of his/her initial enrollment, a student must complete a degree within six years from the time of matriculation. More information on satisfactory progress requirements for recipients of financial aid is available in the Whitworth Financial Aid Office.
