Credits & Enrollment Status
Enrollment status for fall and spring semesters is determined by the number of credits for which you enroll each semester. Credits taken for audit are not counted in determining full- or part-time enrollment status. Any changes to your enrollment status may impact benefits you are receiving, particularly financial aid. You are encouraged to consider the implications of changing your credit load carefully before adding or dropping classes.
| Enrollment Status | Credits |
|---|---|
| Full-time | 12 or more |
| Half-time | 6 - 11 |
| Less than half-time | 1 - 5 |
Note: Graduate Division regulations determine classified graduate student enrollment status.
Credit Overload
Undergraduate students are limited to 19 credits per semester. Graduate and other students are limited to 16 credits per semester. If you wish to exceed the credit limit, you must obtain approval from your college or school's Advising office. You must add additional courses after the semester begins but before the deadline to add classes.
Grade Availability
For the fall and spring semesters, grades are typically available for viewing on the Wednesday following the end of final exam period.
