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.
Grades are viewable on the student's MyPima Academics tab. Grade reports or mailers are not mailed. To challenge a grade, a student must do so through a formal process. Please refer to pima/current-students/complaint-processes/.
As mentioned, 12 credit hours is typically considered a full course load. Some schools allow students to take up to 18 or 21 credit hours per semester.
Financial assistance is available to cover tuition, fees, books and supplies and even the costs of housing and transportation, for students who apply and qualify. Applying for financial aid is a multi-step process, as outlined on our webpages.
