Staying active beyond traditional 4 years of school

Clarification: we see this question a lot. I meant that to be a general response. If she's only in 3 classes, most campuses wouldn't consider her to be a full-time student anyway.

Well, I know for a fact I would have to take 12 hours to be considered as active. So, I was just planning on taking an extra elective, probably an extra upper level advertising class that interests me in order to obtain that 12 hours to be a full time student. That would actually be considered a light load since I usually am taking 5 or 6 classes every semester.

I just didn't know what the policies would be or if it really changes the way people see it considering I only joined the chapter last semester as a junior.

If you joined as a junior I would say staying active is fine. Don't some groups go by the number of semesters you've been active to determine if you need to take alum status? I was also going to ask if you were going to pick up another class to have 12 credits (what most schools consider full time).

Don't quote me on this, but I believe one of those that go by number of semesters is AST.
