A full-time student carries 12 or more semester credits. A part-time student carries fewer than 12 semester credits. Students who have earned fewer than 30 semester credits either in transfer or on campus are classified as freshmen.
A full-time student for summer term is one who enrolls in six or more semester credits. Since the summer is the equivalent of half a regular semester, a reasonable student load is no more than nine semester credits. Please consult with the Financial Aid office, as the credit load requirements may vary depending on aid being received.
