A student is considered full-time when they enroll in 12 or more credits per semester. The First Year Experience (FYE) Program hosts seven different engagement opportunities on-campus and online for new Pima students who are within their first year (30 credits) at Pima.
If you might need to miss more than 1 week of classes in any one semester you will be required to provide a doctor's note of explanation to avcforstudentlearning@pima.

What constitutes “full time” depends on whether the school is on the semester system or the quarter system. In general, you're looking at 4 or 5 classes per term. You might be able to cram all those classes into two days, or they might span the entire week. It will likely add up to 15–20 hours of class per week.
