Enrollment Status
Enrollment status refers to the time commitment and course load a student maintains each term or quarter. This academic load can impact eligibility for financial aid, graduation schedule, and other considerations. The normal academic load for a full-time student varies by academic level as described below.
Undergraduate programs requirements include associate and bachelor degree programs in all fields of study offered by CTU. Full-time student status requires 12 or more quarter credit hours per quarter.
Master program requirements include master degree programs in all fields of study offered by CTU. Full-time student status requires four quarter credit hours per session and eight or more quarter credit hours per quarter.
For students enrolled in degree programs through CTU’s Virtual Campus, no more than one course in master’s degree programs or two courses in undergraduate degree programs may be taken in any session as this constitutes a course overload.
For students enrolled in degree programs through CTU’s physical campuses, no more than three courses in master’s degree programs or four courses in undergraduate degree programs may be taken in any quarter, as this constitutes a course overload. Exceptions to this may be made on a case- by-case basis by an appropriate academic official.
Doctorate program requirements include doctoral programs in all fields of study offered by CTU. Full-time student status requires seven or more credit hours per quarter. Half-time student status requires two to six credit hours per quarter.
