To be considered a full-time student for financial aid, you must take at least 3 credits per term (one course). However, to stay on track to graduate in four years, you’ll need to complete about 30 credits per year, which may mean taking more than one course in certain terms.

To graduate, you must complete at least 30 credits at the 300-level or higher, ensuring you gain advanced, career-focused knowledge in your field.
