Short Hours Form

If you are taking fewer than 5 credits a semester, you may need to fill out a short hours form in order to avoid hassles regarding student loans or taxes. In order to be exempt from social security and Medicare withholding you must be registered at least 1/2 time, or you must be registered a minimum of 0-2 credit hours and have a short hours form on file with the Registrar's Office that indicates you are engaged in a research activity related to your field of study. Each departmental office should have this form, as it requires the signatures of the DEO, adviser, and student before being filed with the Registrar.
