Hello aska<\/p>\n

I’m currently a full time student. However I might have to go back to my hometown in the winter semester. Is it possible that I drop my courses for the next semester, then become a part-time student? And then maybe I ll be refund for the diffence between full time and part time student tuition fee??<\/p>\n

Thanks \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

???????????????<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

assuming you’re a student on the downtown campus, then yes, it is possible. HOWEVER, before you go spending all that money<\/a> that was earmarked for a full-time fee on an expensive Caribbean cruise, i should make a clarification.<\/p>\n

here at UTSG, we?charge fees for the whole year all at once. that means that you can’t – in a financial sense, at least – be full-time in one semester, and part-time in another. you’re either part-time or full-time for the Fall\/Winter term<\/a>.<\/p>\n

so if you’re taking 2.5 FCEs or less in the Fall and you take 0 in the Winter – that is, drop all your Winter courses – then yes, you would be considered part-time.<\/p>\n

BUT, if you’re taking at least 3.0 FCEs total in the Fall\/Winter term – regardless of how many you take in the Winter – you would be full-time for the whole year, and would be charged the full-time program fee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

if however, you plan to be under 3.0 FCEs total<\/em>?for Fall\/Winter, then you can go to your registrar’s office and request a fee change. also, you can take a look at the refund schedule here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
