1.1. Credit hours to be counted:
1.1.1. all regular session degree-creditable hours attempted at NCSU, including
failed courses, course-repeat-without-penalty courses, and courses dropped
with a "W" grade.
1.1.2. all transfer credit accepted by NCSU which is used to satisfy degree requirements,
as defined by the student's Automated Degree Audit.

1.3. Students subject to surcharge:
1.3.1. Students earning a first baccalaureate degree in a program that requires
no more than 128 credit hours will be subject to the surcharge after having
completed eight or more regular semesters at any institution. Students enrolled
in the cooperative education program are registered for zero hours, which
will not add to the semesters enrolled. Work completed in summer sessions
or off-campus extension will not count towards the eight semesters.
1.3.2. For students earning a first baccalaureate degree in a program that requires
no more than 128 credit hours, the surcharge shall be applied to all counted
credit hours in excess of 140. The surcharge will be applied only to those
hours in excess of 140.
Programs considered to be in excess of 128 credit hours will be limited to
the following:
Students in the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) are required to complete
157 hours. They will be subject to the surcharge after having completed 10 semesters
for all counted credit hours in excess of 173.
Students pursuing multiple degrees and minors will be subject to the surcharge
for all counted credit hours in excess of 140 or 110% of that required for the
degree(s), whichever is greater. Hours required for the degree(s) are defined
as the number of hours required for the primary degree plus all hours completed
that are creditable towards the minor(s) or additional degree(s) but are non-degree-creditable
towards the primary degree, as defined by the student's Automated Degree Audit.
Students pursuing programs requiring more than 128 hours will be subject to
the surcharge only after having completed 10 full-time semesters.
Students pursuing a baccalaureate degree other than their first will be subject
to the surcharge for all counted credit hours in excess of 140 or 110% of that
required for the additional degree as defined by the student's Automated Degree
Audit, whichever is greater. Students pursuing a baccalaureate degree other
than their first will be subject to the surcharge only after having completed
2 semesters subsequent to the previous baccalaureate degree.
This regulation was mandated by the North Carolina State Legislature and is
described in The
University of North Carolina Administrative Memorandum #348.
