The federal government requires that you must maintain at least half-time participation at an accredited college to receive funding.

Edit: The exact amount of credits may very by school in regards to what they consider half-time/full-time. Get in contact with your school to find that exact information.

You need to take a full load of classes, to go full time. You don't have to have previous classes to apply for the student loan.
