I don't attend NAU, but I'm in a competency based program. No one can say how many credits anyone can complete in a term. Everyone is different. It all depends on the amount of time you have to study and write papers/projects, your previous knowledge of the subject, and how dedicated you are. I will have completed 36 credits at UMPI in 16 weeks, but I do this full time. I don't have a job currently. I don't have kids. I work on this 7 days a week. I have a strict schedule that I keep with daily and weekly goals. I put in a great deal of planning aka time management each week to keep me going. My husband is attend a CBE program at Purdue Global and he is hoping to complete 15 credits in 10 weeks. He's on track for 10 credits in 10 week so far. He has a full time job and doesn't do this 7 days a week. He would never complete 45 credits in 6 months.
