To be a full-time student during the fall or spring semesters you must register for and be enrolled in a minimum of 12 hours at UT. During the summer semester, you must register for and be enrolled in 9 hours at UT. Full-time status is usually necessary to receive financial aid, live in on-campus housing, compete on a University athletic team, be covered under parents’ health or car insurance or be an international student. If full-time status becomes a hardship for non-academic reasons, please make an appointment see a non-academic CNS counselor by visiting WCH 1.106 or calling 471-4536.
