Do TA Credits Count Toward Full-Time Status?

Beware. These things may vary depending on which school you are enrolled in at Cornell. I am under the impression that the Arts college, for example, does not like to give credit for TAing.

As for going under 12 credits or otherwise jeopardizing your full-time student status, make sure that you discuss this possibility with your parents before you do it – even if Cornell says it’s OK. You may need to be a full-time student in order to continue to be covered on some of your parents’ insurance policies (health, auto, etc.), and the usual definition of full-time student is “12 or more credits.”
