Candidates enrolled for at least six semester hours are considered full-time. For the purposes of federal aid, enrollment in three semester hours is considered half-time. Candidates who are enrolled in the Teacher Leader Master of Arts program, LBD program, or as a Special Student, and who are employed full-time may not enroll for more than two courses or 6 hours per semester (whichever is less) during the term of their employment. This regulation does not apply to candidates who are enrolled in the MA-Initial or Alternative Certification program; however, the program chair must approve the additional hours. At any given time, a candidate may only be enrolled in either a 15-week term or a 7.5-week term.
