How much time are you spending each week?

We’re trying to help you get a sense of your workload. Enter how many hours each week you spend on personal activities and courses. A week consists of seven days and has a total of 168 hours. A semester is 16 weeks. Course time includes class, study, and homework. Fill out each section with an estimated amount of time you would spend on each activity in one week, rounding to the closest hour. As you fill out each section, the chart will auto-populate, showing the amount of hours used and hours left in each week. You may leave some sections at zero. When you add the number of course credits, pay attention to the length of the course (1st 8 weeks, 2nd 8 weeks, 14 weeks, 15 weeks, or 16 weeks) as the time required will be different.
