This sentence is correct ?

students can study 18 credits only for each semester.

I am wondering if for is needed in this sentence.

What do you think?

That sentence sounds somewhat confusing because you really can't study credits. I think this sounds better: Students can study for 18 credits worth of courses each semester. You can replace each with every, it doesn't change the meaning of the sentence.
