What is the minimum number of classes I can take to be considered a fulltime student?
It’s not about classes, but about college credit. The minimum considered to be fulltime is 12 credits. For Financial Aid purposes, this also includes remedial, pre-college credit courses such as ENGL-030, 099, and MATH 021, just to name a few examples. Be sure not to confuse college credits with contact hours. Mott’s tuition is per contact hour, not college credits. So, for instance, four courses that add up to 12 credits, such as a schedule that includes Art 121 (3 cr/3 ch), Art 131 (3 cr/6 ch), Art 141 (3 cr/6 ch), and Engl 101 (3 cr/3 ch), may have a total of 18 contact hours (number of hours per week that you are in class). Your tuition will be based on the 18 contact hours, but your financial aid looks at the credit, which totals 12.
