Enrollment Status Descriptions for Financial Aid: For financial aid purposes, enrollment requirements are the same for every semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer).  Undergraduates must be enrolled in at least 12 undergraduate credit hours to be considered full-time, 9 to 11 undergraduate credit hours to be considered three-fourths time, and 6 to 8 undergraduate credit hours to be considered half-time.

Courses listed in a consortium agreement are included in the overall student course load with A&M–Central Texas. For example, if you are enrolled in 15 credit hours with A&M–Central Texas and 4 credit hours with another institution, the total enrollment is 19 credit hours. This requires formal approval.

Loads in excess of the maximum require approval by your program department chair. Loads in excess of 21 hours require approval from the college dean. To receive approval for excess courses, students must submit a Course Overload form.
