**Some students will actually complete more than 120 credit hours.  This can occur for several reasons:

• Some students will be required to take additional courses necessary to develop basic academic competencies.  These courses are not counted as credit toward graduation.  
• Some students may choose to take more than 120 credit hours.  For example: When students choose to complete more than one major, or a minor/certificate.
• Some majors require more than 120 credit hours for a bachelor's degree.
