Full time student while in NUPOC??

[Tyler2786]

Howdy,
   I've been in the NUPOC program for about 1.5 years now and am finally in my senior semester.  I only have 5 credits needed to graduate and will be taking them this fall.  However, my recruiter told me I had to be a full time student while in the NUPOC program, so I would have to take an additional 7 credits to make it to the 12 for full time here at UF, while my friend that is in the program too with a different recruiter was told it didn't matter; that he could just take 5 credits.  My question is, do you have to be full time while in the NUPOC program, even for ones final semester??  If anyone has actual documentation that says one way or the other, that would be awesome.  Thanks in advance!

I appreciate the quick reply, and to hear that at least my recruiter knows what she is talking about .  But if anyone has the actual documentation, I would really like to show it to my friends recruiter, as he doesn't believe it when I tell him.

Thanks again!

Why would you want to show it to your friends recruiter?

This may be too late to help you out but it may help others.  You absolutely do not need to take more than the required number of credits to graduate during your final semester as a NUPOC. 

My current shore duty has me working only with NUPOC recruiting at the regional level and the "full time student" thing doesn't apply during your final semester.
