Maximum Credits

  • You have completed a minimum of 15 college level credits at Highline.
  • Your college level GPA at Highline is 3.0 or higher.

If you wish to take more than 18 credits and you meet the criteria, register for the majority of your classes by yourself then complete the add/drop form for the remaining class(es). Your faculty advisor or ISP advisor will confirm your eligibility and add the class(es) for you.

Changing Classes (Add/Drop)

Before you drop a class, remember that international students must maintain full-time enrollment each quarter.  Even if you are failing a class, DO NOT drop below 12 units or you will be out of status.
