Student Enrollment Status

A student's enrollment status is based on the number of credits for which he/she is registered as indicated below:

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS - Fall, Spring and Summer terms

	PER TERM
Full time	12 or more credits*
3/4 time	9-11 credits
Half time	6-8 credits
Below half time	5 or fewer credits

GRADUATE PROGRAMS - Fall, Spring and Summer terms

	PER TERM
Full time	6 or more credits*
3/4 time	4-5 credits

*These credit levels are used for deferment reporting and for awarding financial aid. The state of Minnesota requires a different definition of full-time enrollment to award state grant funds to undergraduate students.
