Enrollment Status

Enrollment status is defined for certification purposes as either full-time or half-time.

Undergraduates: 12 credits for fall or spring semester; Graduates: 9 credits for fall or spring semester.

Half-time status for Fall or Spring is defined as follows:

Summer status depends on the number of weeks a student is enrolled. Always contact the Office of the Registrar to verify a student’s status for a summer session.

With the exception of enrollment certification for veterans’ benefits, credit hours are rounded up to the next whole number. For example, credit load of 11.5 credits is rounded up to 12 credits. Contact the Office of the Registrar for more information.
