Academics

Courseload

A full-time semester course load is between 12-16 credits. Most U of R courses are worth 4 credits each and students take 3-4 courses. Students on a J-1 visa are required to take 12 or more credits.  

Course Offerings

The University of Redlands offers over 40 degree programs. Exchange students can enroll in courses in any degree program as long as they meet any course prerequisites and there is space in the course. Information about the U of R’s academic programs can be found here: https://www.redlands.edu/study/schools-and-centers/college-of-arts-and-sciences/undergraduate-studies/.

Course Registration

Exchange students will be assigned a U of R faculty advisor and will meet with them virtually prior to course registration. The advisor will assist students with the course enrollment process.
