For financial aid eligibility and enrollment certification for loan deferments, insurance coverage and other purposes, the enrollment status of students is defined as the following:
Undergraduate Students
| Enrollment Type | Credit Hours |
|---|---|
| Full-time | 12+ |
| Three-quarter-time | 9-11 |
| Half-time | 6-8 |
| Less-than-half-time | 1-5 |
Graduate Students
| Enrollment Type | Credit Hours |
|---|---|
| Full-time | 8+ |
| Three-quarter-time | 6-7 |
| Half-time | 4-5 |
| Less-than-half-time | 1-3 |
For summer, the statues listed above may be fulfilled by enrollment in one or more sessions within the summer semester, including summer intersession. Courses receiving an AU, NF or SF mark are not counted in enrollment credit hours. This definition differs from the one used for assessing tuition and fees (for more information, see Office of the Bursar website).
