Course Loads

Federal financial aid regulations stipulate a student must be enrolled in at least 12 credits per semester to be considered full time and at least 6 credits per semester to be considered half time. Summer session full time status is based upon combined 12 credits over both sessions. Graduating students in their last semester are considered full-time (except for financial aid purposes) if they are registered for all remaining degree requirements, even if they are registered for less than full-time status.

All international students are required to complete at least 12 credits each fall and spring semester.

Enrollment statuses for fall and spring terms are listed in the table below:

	Full-Time	Half-Time	Less Than Half- Time
Undergraduate	12-17 credits	6- <12 credits	<6 credits

Restrictions: ESL students can take a maximum of 3 credits. ELI students can only take 0 credit courses.
