Matriculation/Degree Candidacy
A degree student is one who has been accepted to become a candidate for the baccalaureate degree.

Full-time/Part-time Status
Full-time degree candidates register for 12-18 credits per semester and are eligible for College housing and participation in varsity sports (provided they are making satisfactory academic progress) and student activities; part-time degree candidates register for fewer than 12 credits per semester and are not normally eligible
for College housing or for participation in varsity sports and student activities.

Students who wish to change their status from full-time to part-time must notify the Registrar’s Office and are advised to consult the Director of Financial Aid to determine whether the change will affect any financial aid they may be receiving. Also see section in Academic Policies for Satisfactory Progress to Degree.
