Some degree programs require more than twelve credits to be considered full time in the program.
This is different than the university's definition for financial aid purposes. The Office of Student Financial Aid Services will not consider enrollment through IU Independent Study towards any financial aid enrollment requirements until after the coursework has been completed. Please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid Services for more information. Please note that it is the student's responsibility to inform the Office of the Registrar that she or he is enrolled in the IU Independent Study Program as it will not automatically appear in our campus-based review.
