If you are a part-time student (10 or fewer credits for undergraduates and 5 or fewer for graduate
students) and your petition will bring you to full-time status, you will be billed for the balance of full-
time fees.
The instructor, the department office, or the college office may deny the petition. The Registrar’s
Office may deny the petition if the request is inconsistent with regulations.
