How many hours must I take to receive Financial Aid?

Generally, state and federal aid is awarded based on full-time status. Students must register for a minimum of 12 credits per term to be considered full-time as undergraduate and 9 credits for graduate students.

Part-time students (enrolled at least half-time, 6 credits) are eligible for aid and may be eligible for a Federal Stafford Loan or a Federal PLUS Loan.

HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarship – will only pay up to 127 total credit hours .
