It is the student's responsibility to be sure they are enrolled in the correct number of credits by the end of the stated drop/add period. Students can view their # of enrolled/registered credits by term in their Student Planning account. (Go to Self Service - Student Planning - Plan & Schedule).
- Full-time Undergraduate Student: 12 or more credits per semester.1 The usual full-time semester load is 15-16 credits.
- Part-time Undergraduate Student: Fewer than 12 credits per semester. The usual part-time semester load is 6-7 credits. Some federal financial aid programs require 6 or more credits per semester to be eligible.
1Note: federal regulations mandate that federal financial aid cannot be awarded for classes that do not count toward a student's degree program. If a student is enrolled in classes that do not count toward their degree, certificate, or other credentials, the classes cannot be used to determine enrollment status for financial aid purposes.
