<p>The response indicates the number of people in the student's household, including the student, who will be college students between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013. This does not include the student's parents. This number includes others only if they will attend at least half-time in 2012-2013 in a program that leads to a college degree or certificate. This number must include the student that completed the FAFSA even if the student will attend college less than half-time in 2012-2013.</p>
<p>Last academic year I received financial aid based on the information that 2 of my household members (me and my husband) would be attending school in 2011-2012 academic year at least half-time. I did do it, but my husband only went to school half-time in the fall and did not go at all in the spring. MY QUESTION IS: who is considered a half-time student? A person attending school at least half-time both semesters or just one semester of the two? I'm just trying to figure this out because it seems that I might have to amend my fafsa since my husband only went to school in the fall semester.</p>
<p>Do the math. Half-time for less than a full year would be LESS than half time, wouldn’t it?</p>
<p>I think “any terms of” should be add to this question:</p>
<p>This number includes others only if they will attend at least half-time in “any terms of” 2012-2013 in a program that leads to a college degree or certificate.</p>
<p>So, your husband should be included.</p>
<p>Is the question concerning the amount your H will be in school for the 2012-13 year? or for the past year? </p>
<p>I thought it would have to do with the upcoming school year. If your H hadn’t gone to college at all last year, but was going to go this year, he’d be counted…or am I confused? </p>
<p>Which FAFSA are you thinking of amending? The one done LAST year for LAST year’s aid?</p>
<p>or the one for THIS year, for THIS year’s aid?</p>
<p>It sounds like the FAFSA for LAST year was filled out correctly with the ASSUMPTION that your H would be going to classes more than he did. In the end, he didn’t go as much as was assumed. </p>
<p>Your current FASFA has to do with attendance for THIS school year, not last school year. Again, your H may not have gone to school AT ALL last year. But if he goes this year, you count him.</p>
