<p>So I am a full time student at UW and I am wondering if I still need to have at least 12 credits during the summer quarter or am I allowed to have less? Also, is there financial aid available during the summer quarter?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>What do you mean need? Need for what, to stay on track? There are 180 credits needed to graduate, if you enter as a junior and take 15 credits per fall winter and spring quarters you’ll graduate in two years. If you take summer classes you’ll graduate earlier than that. If you want to take less than 12 credits during the summer (only) it won’t count against your full time student status. As for financial aid, at transfer Thursday they told me if you want aid for the summer they will simply divide your total aid by 4 instead of three quarters.</p>
