Enrollment Requirements
You must be enrolled at least half-time in courses that count toward your degree, in order to be eligible for most types of financial aid. Courses that are for noncredit (i.e., audit) do not count towards your degree.
For a JD student, five credit hours is considered half time during the academic year. For an LLM student, four credit hours is considered half time.
