To remain in the program, you must enroll in the minimum credits identified in the chart below. Any student who does not enroll for a Fall or Spring term is considered a re-entry student and must re-apply to the program as such.
Summer enrollment is generally not required for continuing students (that is, students who enrolled full-time for the Spring semester and intend to enroll full-time for the Fall semester).
Please note that you must be enrolled in at least 4 credits to be eligible for Federal Financial Aid.
