For standard term programs, full-time status is a minimum of 12 credit hours per term, three-quarter time is 9 credit hours per term, and half time is 6 credit hours per term. Schools can define higher credit hour thresholds for full-time status. Clock-hour or nonstandard term programs define full-time status as a minimum of 24 semester hours per academic year or 24 clock hours per week. Schools have flexibility to establish their own enrollment status definitions above the minimum requirements.
