Yes, as long as your new school participates in the Stafford Loan program and you continue to meet the other eligibility requirements. What is a “half time” student?
If your school uses credit hours and semesters, trimesters, or quarters, “half time” means that you are enrolled at least six semester hours or quarter hours per term if you are in an undergraduate program. If your school uses credit hours but does not use semesters, trimesters, or quarters then “half time” means that you are enrolled in at least 12 semester hours or 18 quarter hours per year for an undergraduate program. If your school measures your attendance by standard “hours on the clock” then “half time” is at least 12 hours of attendance per week for an undergraduate program.
