TESU has fixed 12 week terms. You can't work ahead in any meaningful fashion. How hard the courses are depends in large part on the course and your knowledge level. I generally had three courses going at the same time (in a stagger so that the finals didn't happen at the same time). I was easily able to keep up with that studying nights and weekends, probably no more than 20 hours per week. People here often take a single 15 credit term successfully. They are usually taking the cornerstone, the capstone, and three other courses chosen to be less difficult.

The full-time fixed tuition program discourages that kind of staggering, so I'd say having the finals for all the courses coming at the same time will be your biggest challenge. One thing to keep in your back pocket is that you can extend the term for a course for a fee. If you find you are falling behind on a course, you can apply to extend and finish that one after the others. One thing to be absolutely sure of is that you ALWAYS notify the mentor before turning in anything late. A late assignment has to be docked points by school policy, unless you have prior approval from the mentor.
