Financial Aid Full-Time and Part-Time Enrollment Status

Financial Aid Full-Time and Part Time Enrollment Status
Enrollment status of a student is determined by the number of semester hours of credit that the student is pursuing for the term for which the certification is made. Credit requirements are as follows:

• Full-time: 12 or more semester hours of credit.
• Three-Quarter Time: 9 to 11 semester hours of credit.
• Half-time: 6 to 8 semester hours of credit.
• Less than Half-time: 1 to 5 semester hours of credit.

Student Load
Normal load for a full-time student is 12 to 18 academic credit hours per semester. A student should plan to devote about two hours per week for each credit hour for which the student is registered, including time spent on outside preparation. Students who wish to attend class regularly but do not wish to receive credit or a grade for the class should register for “audit” after receiving permission from the instructor. The student will be charged full tuition for an “Audit.” Credit for such courses cannot be established at a later date. The total of all credit and audit hours shall not exceed a normal load.
