Full-time or part-time status

Undergraduate non-SFA

In order for undergraduate non-SFA students (students who are not receiving student financial aid for a new term) to be granted full-time status, the minimum course load required is 2 credits per month. This aligns with the Revenue Canada definition.

For AU individualized study students, this means that they need to be actively registered in four 3-credit courses, all commencing on the same start date. (4 x 3 = 12; 12 credits/6-month contract = 2 credits per month).

(3 credits x 2 = 6; 6 credits/6-month contract = 1 credit per month).
