Enrollment Status

Full-time undergraduate students are registered for sufficient credits each semester to complete their
academic programs in four years (eight regular semesters). For most programs, this means students must
average 15 credits per semester to earn the minimum of 120 credits required for graduation. A few programs
require more than 120 credits.

The University treats undergraduate students registered for 12 or more credits as full-time students for
purposes of calculating student financial aid, determining eligibility for campus housing, athletic eligibility,
veteran's benefits, student fees, and for all other activities which vary according to enrollment status. Failure to
register for at least 12 credits per semester will jeopardize eligibility for financial aid, athletic eligibility,
veteran's benefits and campus housing.

Exception: The University may grant full-time privileges to students with documented disabilities who register
for fewer than 12 credits but more than 6 credits per semester. This exception requires the positive
recommendations of the University of Maine Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities and of the
Special Student Services Advisory Committee, and must be approved by the Provost (or designee). Students
requesting this accommodation must provide current, comprehensive evidence of a documented disability
from a health care or psycho-educational professional, as well as a copy of their academic records from
institutions attended prior to enrolling at the University of Maine. Eligibility of reduced-load students for certain
benefits is contingent upon payment of appropriate fees.

The University of Maine considers students formally registered in courses in Cooperative Education, Field
Experience, or Internships as part of their UMaine programs, to be full-time students. Also, graduating seniors
who need less than 12 credits to complete requirements and have applied to graduate are considered full-
time.
