Full-Time Student Status

   

Listed below are the requirements that constitute full-time student status for official enrollment certification purposes by the Office of the Registrar and for financial assistance.

The Office of the Registrar is responsible for determining standards for full and half time enrollment and if an exception to those standards can be made. Questions regarding exceptions for academic purposes should be directed to the Office of the Registrar. Questions regarding exceptions for financial aid purposes should be directed to the Office of Student Financial Assistance.

A student who is working on an undergraduate degree that requires 120 to 128 credit hours for completion of requirements should expect to complete 15 or 16 credit (unit) hours during regular semesters in order to complete degree requirements in eight semesters. See your adviser for more specific information regarding academic full-time credit (unit) hour recommendations for your program.
