What do I need to do to be considered a fulltime student?

<p>I am going into college this august. I am really knew at all this. How many units (or whatever) do I need to be considered a fulltime student? I need to be a fulltime student so my mother recieves money from the state.</p>

<p>Not to sound harsh, but you didn't read up on any of this during the application/decision process?</p>

<p>Check the school's site.</p>

<p>usually it's at least 3 classes, maybe 4 depending on your university and major.</p>

<p>you really need to ask your university because their policies will probably vary</p>

<p>You should take at least 12 credits.</p>

<p>for my school, it was 12 units (usually three 4 unit classes).</p>

<p>12 hours .</p>

<p>12 credit hours for me too.</p>
