Policy Regarding Full-Time Status

In order for residential graduate students to be considered full-time, a student must be enrolled for 9 or more credits. In order to be considered full-time as an undergraduate student, a student must be enrolled in 12 or more credits during a regular academic semester (fall and winter). For spring/summer half-terms, full-time status is 6 or more credits for undergraduate students. If a residential student is receiving SPH funding, they are required to be registered for 12 or more credit hours.

SPH online degree programs calculate full-time status differently; to be considered full-time online students must be registered for 8 or more credits.   Online students must be registered in accordance with their approved program plan in order to be eligible for SPH funding.
