 WHAT CONSTITUTES FULL-TIME STATUS FOR NOBTS SCHOLARSHIPS?
*Extension Center Students - Two classes is the full-time student status requirement for NOBTS Financial Aid purposes. 
The two classes must be Monday on-campus courses or Thursday, Friday, or Saturday hybrid, on-campus courses. Internet courses, independent studies, special event courses, and workshops DO NOT count toward full-time status. 
Your insurance provider, student loan company or veterans services may require you to have more credit hours to achieve full-time status for their purposes.
Please check with your insurance agent, loan provider, or VA benefit representative if you have additional questions about meeting their requirements for full-time status. NOBTS does not dictate what those agencies require of you. 

WHAT IF I DROP A COURSE AND I HAVE RECEIVED A SCHOLARSHIP?

If you apply and receive an NOBTS scholarship and then fail to uphold the full-time student status during the semester of the scholarship award, the scholarship monies will be removed from your NOBTS account plus you may incur potential penalties and fees for withdrawing from classes.
