Enrollment
At the University of Oregon most students are considered full time. A student must be enrolled for at least 1/2 time to receive financial aid.
| Enrollment Level | Undergraduate | Graduate/Law |
| Full time | 12 or more credits | 9 or more credits |
| 3/4 time | 9-11 credits | 7-8 credits |
| 1/2 time | 6-8 credits | 5-6 credits |
Disbursement of Financial Aid
Financial aid cannot be disbursed if the expected level of enrollment does not match a student's actual enrollment. If a mismatch occurs a student has two options to resolve the matter.
- A student may add more classes until the number of classes matches the expected level of enrollment.
- A student may request to change his/her enrollment level. Students cannot request to change their enrollment level once aid for the term has disbursed. Note that reducing the enrollment level from full time often reduces or eliminates most aid programs.
Important: Once aid for the term disburses, students are responsible for successfully completing the minimum number of credits at that enrollment level. Failure to do so may result in a loss of eligibility for aid in future terms if not making sufficient satisfactory academic progress.
