Full time student....
Hey all,
Okay so I have a question...
This summer to be eligible for OSAP in summer school I took french 2M06 for the whole spring and summer, peace studies 1A03 in the spring and religious studies 2QQ3 in the summer session....a total of twelve units...
I'm going into level 2 honours english (might be combining it with french)....how many units do I need in the next school year to be considered full time?
Thanks for all your help in advance!

I believe you'll still need 30 units to be considered a full-time student... I don't think any summer units will contribute to your status in the 2009-2010 year. Although, I could be wrong.

To be considered a full-time student by the MSU (to get the health plan, bus pass etc) you need to take at least 21 units.

By the end of the summer you will have completed 42/120 units you need to complete an Honours degree.

I would suggest using some of the credits you have/are completing over the summer and applying them to your fourth year, rather than your second. Fourth year sucks in general, and the fourth year English seminars are quite hell-ish.

It's **18 units** to be considered full-time in the MSU's eyes but it's 24 units through the university.

Yep it is 24 units to be considered a full time student. Which is annoying for me since I am at 23 unit, so I have to take an extra course to be a full time student.
