Student status refers to the course load (in terms of credits) a student is taking during a given semester:
Undergraduate:
- Less than half time: 1–5 credits
- Half time: 6–8 credits
- 3/4 time: 9–11 credits
- Full time: 12–or above
Graduate (as of Fall 2016)
- Less than half time: 1 -2 credits
- Half time: 3 credits
- 3/4 time: 4 -5 credits
- Full time: 6 credits
Students should pay close attention to their student status, especially if they are receiving any type of financial aid. Loans, grants, TAP and scholarships from Manhattan College have specific guidelines regarding student status. Falling below a certain status may put a student in jeopardy of losing aid.
