Guidelines for Student Who Work and Attend College

Hours Worked per Week                      Recommended Enrollment Hours
0 -10 hours each week                            12+ hours (Full-Time Student)
11-20 hours per week                              12 hours or less
21-30 hours per week                              9 hours or less
31-40 hours per week                              6 hours or less
41+ hours per week                                  3 hours

Students should plan to study at least 2 hours for every hour spent in college (2:1).

If a student enrolled in 12 hours studies two hours for each hour enrolled, they will study 24 hours each week. The study hours added to the time spent in college equals a total of 36 hours spent in collegiate endeavors. The student has the equivalent a full-time job. 

(12 + 24 = 36 hours per week)
