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.
Part-Time and Overload Status. Students taking fewer than 12 credits each term are considered part time; more than 20 credits taken in a given term are considered an overload. Special permission prior to registration must be obtained from the Office of the Dean in either case. To apply for part-time or overload status, 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 registration period.
Students who change from full-time to part-time status after the term begins are obligated to pay full-time tuition costs unless an adjustment is made prior to the start of the term.
