Full time status is categorized by the University as the registration by a student of 9 credit hours or more per semester (for domestic students, full time registration in Summer session is 6 credit hours). Part time status is fewer than 9 credit hours per semester. A student may move from full time to part time status with no difficulty (international students on an F-1 Visa must remain full time). Merit award recipients must also maintain full time status. Note: changes in registration from full time to part time status may impact financial aid award amounts – contact the Financial Aid office for further clarification (202) 885-6100.
