whoa, hold on a second. most undergraduate degrees require 124 credits, so i think you have the numbers a bit confused. students are considered full-time when they take at least 12 credits a semester (for undergraduate students).
when your financial aid office asks you about your enrollment plans, it could be for a number of different reasons. some schools only award institutional gift aid (grants, scholarships) to students who are full-time.
you need to be taking at least 6 credits (half-time for undergraduate students) in order to be eligible for financial aid.
hope that helps!

They want to know if you'll be going to school full time (taking 120 credits/year or more) or part time (less than 120 credits/year). If you're only going to go part time, they don't need to give you as much money. If you're going to an online school tell them you're taking the full load.
