VA will calculate the student’s eligibility based on the days classes are in session.
A student’s enrollment status can change if they are enrolled in a combination of a mini-semester(s) and a full-term semester.
Different sources of funding have different requirements for what constitutes full-time. For example, the FAFSA, NM lottery, NMSU scholarships, etc., have different standards for what is full-time. Please get in touch with each source of funding to ensure you are following their requirements.
