Full-Time Student Definition
For the purpose of financial aid, “Full-time” status is defined as:
MDIV students on the 4-year track
MFTC students on the 3-year track;
MA students on a 2.5-year track;
Students may only receive financial aid for the time allotted above. If, for whatever reason, the student comes to a semester—either or fall or spring—during which they cannot enroll in a normal load and this delay will prohibit the student from completing the degree in the time allotted above, the student may “turn off” financial aid for that semester by informing the Scholarship Committee before that semester begins (this cannot be done retroactively). By “turning off” financial aid for that semester, the student would then be eligible for an additional semester of financial aid beyond the time allotted above. In essence, this permits students the opportunity to break up the time allotted for their full-time status if necessary.
