U.S. federal student loans require a student to maintain at least half-time enrollment as defined by their academic program. U.S. federal work-study and federal grant funding for undergraduate students does not require at least half-time enrollment. Enrollment status definitions are as follows, with all measures being taken on a per-semester basis. Only credits required for degree or certificate completion count in a student’s enrollment status for the semester.

Enrollment Status Considerations When Retaking Coursework
For the purposes of determining a student’s enrollment status, there are special considerations for students who are repeating coursework:
- A student who has failed a course (grade of F, or grade of NC in a credit/no credit course) can have the repeated failed course calculated in their enrollment status as many times as it is necessary to get a passing grade. See the next bullet for an exception.
- A student who is retaking a previously passed course to improve their grade in it may have exactly one repetition of that course included in their enrollment status. In the case when a student retakes the previously passed course to improve their grade and fails the second time, the student may not be paid for retaking the class a third time.
