Full-Time Student

The definition of a full-time student varies according to the institution or agency concerned. At Missouri State University-West Plains, a full-time undergraduate student is one carrying 12 hours or more of credit in the fall or spring semester (six or more in the summer session) and is so reported to such agencies as the Social Security and Veterans Administration.
