Enrollment changes and withdrawals for full-time MBA students

Enrollment classifications

For loan and enrollment verification purposes, student status is defined as follows during regular terms or the summer quarter:

• Full-time: Enrolled in at least three units per quarter or the equivalent.
• Half-time: Enrolled in at least 1.5 but fewer than three units per quarter or the equivalent.
• Less than half-time: Enrolled in fewer than 1.5 units per quarter or the equivalent.
• Please note, while students who are enrolled less than half-time are not eligible for federal student loans, they can still utilize available private loans.
