Full-Time and Half-Time Enrollment

University Extension semester-based coursework is included in the total along with in-residence coursework. The following table shows the minimum number of hours required.
Enrollment Status
Fall or Spring
| Undergraduates | Graduate students | Law students | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 12 hours | 9 hours | 10 hours |
| Half-time | 6 hours | 5 hours | 5 hours |
Summer

A student is also considered to be enrolled full-time if he or she is enrolled in a cooperative engineering course, is taking a reduced course load because of a documented disability, or is enrolled in a specific course that carries no hours of credit. An undergraduate enrolled in at least six hours of coursework in his or her semester of graduation may also be considered full-time; the student’s dean must submit a request to the registrar’s office that the student’s enrollment status be changed from half-time to full-time.
