Student Classification, Full and Part-Time Status

The status of a student is determined by the number of credits for which he or she is registered at the close of the add/drop period. To be considered a fulltime student, a student must register for a minimum of 12 credit hours for each regular semester. A student enrolled for less than 12 credits will be considered a part- time student.
