You may enroll in a maximum of 18 graduate credit hours in one semester. However, taking that many hours in one semester is not recommended. Although you have up to a year to complete your coursework (please verify course due dates), that time can pass very quickly. Please recognize that Drake University does not give extensions/additional time past the original due date to finish coursework.
Upon completion, coursework and videotapes or DVD should be sent immediately to Drake University’s Distance Learning Center for grading. Coursework is graded by our instructional team continuously throughout the semester and is graded in the order in which it is received. Please allow 60 days for your course work to be graded. Although you have one year to complete each course, most coaches complete their work much sooner.
