Confusion cleared up: 12 credit hours constitute full-time status

My Wednesday article on the Board of Regents' decision to increase tuition to a new model where students are charged a flat 15-hour full-time rate created an uproar on campus.

Problems arose because of tricky wording, incomplete information and a myriad of misunderstanding between the high-ups. During my interviewing and analysis of Regents documents on Tuesday, it appeared that students would be required to register for 15 hours in the fall to be considered full-time students – a change from the traditional 12 credit hour requirement.

However, after many phone calls and even more confusion, I confirmed with several sources that the 12-hour requirement would remain the requirement for full-time status.
