Enrollment Status: Less than Full-Time
Students enrolled in less units than those listed above are not considered enrolled full-time. For information regarding how enrolling in units less than required for full-time status affects tuition and fees, please see the current Tuition and Fees information on the website for the Business Services Office.
Please note that, for the purposes of Financial Aid (including loan deferments) and enrollment reporting, enrollment status is defined differently than it is for the purposes of tuition and fees. The definition of a full-time student is the same in both cases; however, less than full-time status is broken down into more categories. These definitions are different for undergraduate and graduate students, and also differ between Fall/Spring and Summer terms for graduate students, as shown below:
