Grades and records
Enrollment and degree verification
Arizona State University provides official verification of a student’s enrollment status or earned degrees. Enrollment status (full-time, part-time, etc.) is based on the number of credits a student is enrolled in during the requested term. Withdrawn courses are not included. Audit classes count toward total enrolled hours.
ASU reports enrollment status to the National Student Clearinghouse multiple times each semester. Status definitions follow federal regulations and university policy and are defined in the financial aid load tables below.
