part-time students
Not full-load learners
Part-time students are those enrolled in an educational program while taking fewer courses than a full course load—typically less than twelve credit hours per semester at the college level.
The designation often affects eligibility for financial aid, housing, and other benefits available to full-time students.
Part-time status suits those balancing education with work or family obligations: Many part-time students take evening classes after work.
