Think 15 Project
• Students who took 15 hours were 25% more likely to
graduate on time than those who took less than 15 in
their first Fall Semester
• Students who take at least one 15+ credit hour
semester are 1.5 times more likely to graduate on
time.
• Students who never take a 15+ credit hour semester
are almost 3 times more likely to not graduate
• 60% of students who drop out did not take a 15+ hour
load during their freshman year.
• 60% of students who took 12 hours or less in the
Spring of freshman year took 12 in the Fall.
Myth: If I take 12 hours as a Freshman it will allow me to
get a higher GPA and get off to a good start
Reality: Students who took 12 hours in their first Fall had
the lowest first-year GPA with an average of 2.95 compared
to 3.15 for those who took 14 hours or more. Students
who took 12 hours in their first Fall and Spring had a 2.87
GPA, while those who took 15 or more both semesters had
a 3.24 and were MORE likely to keep their Bright Futures
scholarships.
Myth: Because I came in with AP, IB or dual
enrollment credit I can take 12 hours and still
graduate on time (in four years).
Reality: Students who take 12 hours in their first Fall
are 12% less likely to graduate in four years and
60% of the students who dropped out did not take a
15 hour load during their Freshman year. Taking 12
hours appears to become a habit for most as only
25% took 15 hours their first Spring semester and
nearly half are still taking 12 hours the next Fall.
Myth: Only brainiacs take 15 or more hours at a time.
Reality: Of the students taking 15 hours in their first Fall,
the ones in the lowest 10% based on test scores and GPA
still graduate sooner than those in the highest 10% who
took 12 hours.
So, THINK 15!
