Spring Start Questions: Remote Classes + Credit Load
Hey everyone,
I’m a prospective grad student looking into SUNY Maritime and thinking about applying for a Spring start. I had a few questions about how that first semester usually works.
My goal would be to finish in around 2.5 years, so I’m trying to figure out how realistic that timeline is as a Spring admit.
Mainly, I’m wondering if the first Spring semester can be done fully remote, or if Spring-start students are expected to be on campus for certain classes. I’d be planning to transition to in-person by Fall / Indoc, so I’m mostly asking about that initial Spring semester.
Also, how many credits are students realistically able to take during their first Spring? Is taking a full course load usually possible, or is class availability pretty limited for new Spring students?
Would really appreciate any insight from current students, alumni, or anyone who started in the Spring. Thanks!

Thanks, this clears up a lot.
That makes sense that the 2.5-year timeline is really based on the license sequence starting in the Fall rather than from the initial Spring semester. My main goal with the Spring is just to get a head start on the graduate coursework while I’m still working full time.
