Undergraduate Part-Time Status Request

Undergraduate students are expected to be enrolled full-time (enrolled in at least 12 credit hours, ie, three 4-credit courses or equivalent). Enrollment for less than 12 credit hours requires approval by BU Wheelock through the use of this petition form.

Petitions for part-time status will only be granted with the following considerations:

Students may apply for part-time approval by the last day to drop standard courses (without a “W” grade) deadline.
Part-time status is usually granted for only one semester during a student’s enrollment at BU Wheelock. Only in unusual circumstances will a second petition be granted.
International students: Please consult with an International Student Advisor in the International Student and Scholars Office before submitting this form.
