I. Full-Time Study

 

Undergraduate students registered for 12 or more semester hours are full-time students. They are required to register as such and to pay the corresponding tuition.

The certification to governmental agencies of all students -citizen and noncitizen - as full-time students of the university is determined by full-time academic activity as attested by the cognizant academic officer, not by payment of full-time tuition. Such certification is the responsibility of the University registrar.

II. Part-Time Study

 

All students who do not satisfy the criteria for full-time study are part-time students and must pay tuition in the amount charged per semester hour.

III. Enrollment of Undergraduates for Graduate Study

 

See Graduate Enrollment, Enrollment of Undergraduates for Graduate Study

IV. Continuous Enrollment

 

Continuous enrollment is required of all students enrolled in programs leading to degrees unless an authorized leave of absence has been granted. Failure to maintain continuous enrollment or to obtain an official leave of absence is considered to be evidence that the student has withdrawn from the University.
