Know how enrollment affects your aid

The number of credits you take can affect your financial aid. For graduate students, six or more credits are considered full-time enrollment, while three credits are considered half-time. Federal Direct Loans require at least half-time enrollment.

Courses also generally must apply to your degree or eligible program to count toward federal financial aid eligibility.
