I am currently enrolled at half time status at my college. My college considers half time 6-12 credit hours. I originally was enrolled in one science class for 5 credits, Problem solving lab for 1 credit, and another science class for 4 credits for a total of 10 credits. The lab instructor(same instructor for 5 credit class) said the 1 credit class wasn't necessary so I dropped that. Now I am thinking about dropping the 4 credit science course because it's just not what I need, which would bring me down to 5 credit hours. Sorry that was so confusing. I have a private student loan that I took out and I am wondering how they will know that I am below half time. Does the college let them know? I am thinking about adding back in the 1 credit lab to bring me back up to the 6 credits mostly to cover myself. I don't want to have to start repaying this back right now. Any thoughts?

I also wanted to say that I will be back up to half time status in January when the Winter quarter starts so I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.
