Yes. Students have the flexibility to take as many courses as they wish each term, except for certain courses that are required to be taken simultaneously.

If you are receiving sponsorship or other forms of funding, be sure to consider any course load requirements tied to your support.

All Developmental Studies courses are offered online for your convenience. However, some courses from other departments that are part of our curriculum may require in-person attendance.
