Enrollment Status Requirement

A student's quarterly enrollment status is established at the close of office hours on Friday of the first week of the quarter. A student's yearly enrollment status will be determined at the end of each academic year (fall, winter and spring quarters) to ensure that satisfactory progress has been made. The following matrix is used to determine enrollment status and satisfactory progress:


Enrollment Status Quarterly Status: Creds/Qtr (attempted) Yearly Status: Completed Creds/Yr (required) Years to Complete Bach. Deg (maximum) Years to Complete Assoc. Deg (maximum)
Full-time 12+ 36 6 3
3/4 Time 9-11 27 9 3
1/2 Time 6-8 18 12 8
Other 1-5 3 12 8

Undergraduate students are classified by the number of credits earned as follows:
  • Freshman
  • 0 - 39
  • Sophomore
  • 40 - 87
  • Junior
  • 88 -135
  • Senior
  • 136 credits or more

    Progress will be monitored in yearly increments. When a student's enrollment status does not remain the same for all quarters during the year, i.e., when it is both part-time and full-time, an average will be used to determine if satisfactory progress has been made. A student who has not made satisfactory progress will be subject to termination from Milwaukee School of Engineering.

    Financial aid recipients must meet all requirements outlined in the Enrollment Status section to remain eligible.
