Student Classification 

Full-Time Status

Full-time student status in all undergraduate degree programs is 12 semester hours. A student need not maintain full-time status, but should be aware of the continuous enrollment policy and that financial aid programs are usually limited to those enrolled at least half time, which is 6 to 11 hours per semester.

Full-time student status in all graduate (including seminary) degree programs is 8 semester hours. A student need not maintain full-time status, but should be aware of the continuous enrollment policy and that financial aid programs are usually limited to those enrolled at least half time, which is 4 to 7 hours per semester.

Some financial aid programs and student housing are limited to those enrolled full time. Generally, only full-time students may represent the university in an official capacity or may hold a major office in a student organization.

International students with some visa types must maintain full-time status to remain in compliance with U.S. immigration regulations. Students can contact the International Student Services office for more information.
