Students at Livingston College are expected to enroll on a
full-time basis. Part-time status is conferred only in exceptional
circumstances and for a limited time. Full-time students normally
should carry an average of 15 credits per term in order to graduate in
four years. Registration for at least 12 credits each term is necessary
to be considered a full-time student. E-credited courses are included
when computing full-time status, although they do not count toward the
120 credits required for graduation.
Part-Time and Overload Status. Students
taking fewer than 12 credits in a given term are considered part time;
more than 20 credits a term is considered an overload. Students
interested in part-time or overload status must obtain special
permission prior to registration from the Office of the Dean. To apply
for special permission, students must obtain a Request form from
the Academic Information Center and meet with the assistant dean for
academic policy. Special status is effective for only one term, and
reapplication must be made for each subsequent registration period.
Students who change from full-time to part-time status after the term
has begun are obligated to pay full-time tuition costs unless an
adjustment is made prior to the start of the term.
