What are the financial benefits of taking 13 credits per semester?

There are a number of financial benefits that students receive by taking at least 13 credits per semester. These include:
  • qualifying for the free tuition benefit (Each credit over 13 — the 14th, 15th, etc. — is free. Students who do not have an exemption and who register for fewer than 13 credits will be charged for 13 credits even though they are taking fewer credits.)
  • entering the job market earlier
  • greater lifetime earnings
