Are you considering dropping below 12 Credits and changing from full time to part time status?

"I love the Office of Retention Services because the people are so nice and they truly care about you. I would recommend everyone go there if they are having any problems." Candice, ’09

You should consider all the financial and academic implications of taking fewer courses.

You may lose some of the financial aid you are receiving. Please contact the Financial Aid Office at (617) 573-8470 to find out how a change in academic status will affect your financial aid package.

There are academic concerns. The course(s) you drop now may be a prerequisite for a later course, or may not be offered next semester. See your academic advisor.

If you are an international student, there may be visa implications. Contact the Center for International Education at (617) 573-8154 for more information.
