##  About enrollment verification 

While you are currently enrolled in a program within Harvard College or the Harvard Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, a third party may ask you to verify your enrollment.

**Rate of work, Impact on Financial Aid and Federal Reporting:** The standard rate of work for Harvard College student is 16 credits per term, although Harvard College considers all undergraduates to be full-time even when eligible for fewer credits. If you enroll in fewer than 12 credits, it may impact your eligibility for Federal and State funding and result in adjustments to the financial aid amount. Further, the University may be required to report to the federal government the number of students who are taking fewer than 12 credits as part-time. For inquiries about Financial Aid, please contact the Financial Aid office at [**faoinfo@fas.harvard.edu**](mailto:faoinfo@fas.harvard.edu)**.**
