True or False: A student taking all correspondence coursework can be considered full-time.

A student taking all correspondence coursework cannot be considered full-time. The determination of full-time status is contingent on the number of credit hours a student is enrolled in, as defined by the institution and relevant federal regulations. Full-time status typically requires a minimum number of credit hours, often around 12-15 per semester for undergraduate programs, which must be in traditional formats or as defined by the institution's policy.

Correspondence courses, however, are usually treated differently due to their nature. Institutions often characterize correspondence coursework as not contributing towards full-time enrollment status because they do not have the same structure or engagement level as standard classes. Consequently, even if a student is enrolled in several correspondence courses, the total number of credits may not meet the threshold for full-time status.
