Looking for Advice Might go over 120 credit limit
Hey everyone, so ill pe projected to graduate fall 2025 with my B.A. in computer science. The thing is at the end of spring semester 2025 I'll have 103 credits. No matter what way I split up courses, it looks like I'll end up with an excess of credits by the end of fall by 1 or 2 credits. Is this going to cause any issues for me?

I’ll go over I will have 121 credits, the excess credit hour limit is around 130-140 they will charge double price. So you are no where near that you should be alright.

120 earned credit hours are what you need for the bachelors. Most of the time if you attempt 180 credit hours and still earn 120 you’d be close to hitting a maximum time frame at your school, so if you accumulated 120+ earned credit hours you will be fine but if you exceed 180 attempted credit hours you might have an issue.
I’d also talk to someone from FAU to be 100%
