Part-Time Study
Q: Is it possible for my daughter to study part-time this semester?
A: Oberlin students normally take a full schedule of courses (between 12 and 16 credits for Arts and Sciences students and between 12 and 17 for Conservatory and Double-Degree students) each semester. Under special circumstances, a student may request part-time status for one or more semesters. To do so, Arts and Sciences students should see a dean in the Office of the Dean of Studies, Peters 205, and request permission for part-time study before registration or during add/drop for a given semester. Conservatory students should see the Associate Dean of the Conservatory. Double-Degree students can go to the Office of the Dean of Studies or the Office of the Associate Dean of the Conservatory.
Q: What is the cost of part-time study?
A: The part-time study cost is adjusted every year. For the 2007-08 academic year it is $1,500 per credit hour.
Q: Are there any other consequences of part-time study we should be aware of?
A: Students who receive financial aid from the College, should consult the Financial Aid office, Carnegie 123. Students who have health care coverage or other type of insurance through their families, should consult the appropriate policy to make sure they'll be covered while they're studying part time.
