How many credits does my student need to take per semester to be considered a full-time student?
At least 12 credits are required for full-time status (eligibility for financial aid, athletics, on-campus housing, and so on). A Bachelor of Arts degree requires 120 credits and a Bachelor of Science degree requires 124 credits. In order to complete either degree in four years, you need approximately 16 credits per semester, unless you supplement with summer classes.
