Exceptions to
EnrollmentVerify
There are two prerequisites that a student must meet for
use of EnrollmentVerify:
The student must have a valid Social Security Number and must be an active
student. Examples of student exceptions for use of this service would
be International Students without an SSN as well as prefreshmen that are
not active in our database. In the event that you or your student does
not meet the prerequisites, please contact the Registrar's Office at (315)
229-5267 for further assistance. DegreeVerify does not have these limitations.

Enrollment Status
Defined for Undergrads
A student’s enrollment status affects many aspects of the educational
experience (full-time, half-time, less than half-time): Financial aid,
student loan repayment, athletic eligibility, health insurance coverage,
veteran’s benefits and visas for international students, among others.
Enrollment status is based on the number of credit hours of course enrollment
in a semester. Full-time status is defined as enrollment for at least
12 semester hours (3.5 SLU units) of matriculated credit for a term of
15 weeks. Please reference the following chart for further clarification:
Fall/Spring
Term |
Summerterm |
| Full Time= 3.50 or > units |
Full Time = 1.75 or > units |
| Half Time = 1.75 to 3.49 units |
Half Time = 1 to 1.74 units |
| Less than HT = < 1.75 units |
Less than HT = < 1 unit |
The 2007-2008 University
Catalog states (on page 26), “Students may not take a course load
of fewer than 3.5 units in any semester without their student status or
athletic status being affected. Students who begin the semester on a part-time
status (half-time or less than half-time), or who fall to part-time during
the first month of the semester by dropping or withdrawing from a course
(down to a total of three course units or fewer), will be certified as
part-time students for New York state financial aid purposes, other private
scholarships that require full-time certification and repayment of student
loans. They will lose their New York State Tuition Assistance Program
(TAP) and Scholarships if they are part-time students.” Please note
that foreign students, veterans, and athletes who participate in an NCAA
sport are affected by a part-time status whenever the status change occurs
and a student’s health insurance coverage may also be affected.
Enrollment status data is sent to the National Student Loan Clearinghouse
(NSLC) on a weekly basis each Fall and Spring semester. Students seeking
enrollment verification must understand that the enrollment reports to
the NSLC are strictly based on the number of units registered. Whenever
a student’s registration status changes (e.g. full-time to half-time
or vice versa) the date of the change is noted in the database and enrollment
verifications will reflect the new status.
