This is question 30 on the paper FAFSA.

If you are applying to more than one school, select the enrollment status for the school that you are most likely to attend. If the school is a non-term or clock-hour school, select the enrollment status that most closely matches the time that you plan to attend school.

For undergraduates, the following definitions generally apply:

Enrollment Status	Term Hours
Full time	At least 12 credit hours in a term or 24 clock hours per week
3/4 time	At least 9 credit hours in a term or 18 clock hours per week
1/2 time	At least 6 credit hours in a term or 12 clock hours per week
Less than 1/2 time	Fewer than 6 credit hours in a term or less than 12 clock hours per week
Not sure	You're not sure

Schools use your enrollment status to help determine your financial aid eligibility. If your enrollment status changes during the school year, your student aid package may be adjusted to reflect the change in enrollment status.
