What happens if I carry only Three Courses (9 credits)?

A student who carries fewer than 12 credits is a part-time student. This part-time status could reduce the student's financial aid package because financial aid awards are based on an "assumed" full-time enrollment--12 or more credits. Also, a student must pass 24 credits from the beginning of one academic year to the next and attain a grade point average of no less than 1.5 for freshmen and a 2.0 for sophomores and upperclass students.* (see Financial Aid). International students must maintain full-time status per federal regulations.
