- Half Time: Undergraduate students registered for 6-11 credits are considered half time. Graduate and Professional students are considered half time when registered for 4.5 to 8.5 credits.
- Credit or Unit: Each course is measured in credits or units. Both terms may be used, but mean the same thing.
- Add/Drop Period: Every program has an add/drop period during which your bill will be adjusted based on changing your course load. You can check the academic calendar for the add/drop period for your specific program.
- Withdrawal: If your program’s drop/add period has passed, you can use Albert to withdraw from a single class by selecting "Request Class Withdrawal" or from all of the classes in a term by selecting "Request Term/Total Withdrawal."
