<p>I have always wondered this:</p>
<p>Is a student considered "full-time" if he/she enrolls in two seperate colleges part-time and takes/completes 12+ between the two separate institutions during a semester?</p>
<p>harvard and Yale, no biggie</p>
<p>In essense, any two.</p>
<p>Two top tier schools, a university and a CC… Any combination.</p>
<p>Full time by whose standards? Each college/university’s own tuition-billing system? FAFSA?</p>
<p>It is not unheard of for people to be simultaneously enrolled in two distinct educational institutions, but this choice poses many challenges unless the two programs are specifically coordinated (for example RISD & Brown). If you are contemplating doing something like this, sit down with an academic counselor at each institution, and talk about how it can be made possible for you.</p>
<p>It isn’t something that I am considering, but I’ve always been interested in if it was possible (and it has been a question I can’t seem to easily find the answer to on Google).</p>
<p>Standard-wise: I believe that to be dual-enrolled, the student would have to be seeking a degree at one of the colleges and be a nonmatriculated student at the other. But if a student is dual-enrolled in two separate colleges and is a full time student by completing at least 12 credits between the two, is that student still considered to be a full-time student to outside companies/organizations (ie: healthcare or car insurance, etc.)?</p>
