Different requirements for full-time status may apply for tuition, verification, loan deferral, and financial aid. For example, student financial aid eligibility may require a minimum number of hours that support the student’s program of study. Contact Student Accounts, the Registrar’s Office, and the Financial Aid Office, respectively, for more information.
