Full-time enrollment in summer  

Question

What is full-time enrollment for summer term? 

Answer

The term of enrollment does not impact the 'full-time' designation. Full-time is 12 credits for most undergraduate financial aid programs; the Minnesota State Grant requires 15 credits for full-time status.  Full-time for graduate students is 6 credits of enrollment.

Summer sessions are considered one term so whether you take 12 credits in the first session or spread them across the summer term, the entire summer term enrollment is used to calculate your financial aid eligibility.
