Full-Time/Part-Time Course Load

Undergraduate student course load is based on enrolled credit hours per semester. Full-time enrollment status means a student is enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits; a half-time academic load means a student is enrolled in 6-11 credits; enrollment in fewer than 6 credits is considered less than half-time status for the student.

There are financial, financial aid, and/or residency implications if a student’s course load drops below 12 credits. Students who are in the process of changing their status from full-time to part-time are strongly advised to discuss these changes with their academic advisor, the Office of Student Life, the Financial Aid Office, and the Student Accounts Office prior to finalizing the change.
