I've been accepted to UofT, St George, University College for Criminology. I currently have 3 classes, but want to drop one, which would mean I would have 2 classes this semester. Would that make me a part-time student, and would the status of part-time student effect my scholarships? Most of which have stated that you need to be a full-time student in order to qualify. But, the reason I'm dropping this class is that I already have 5U courses, and only really need 1 more to graduate.

I'm pretty sure that by full-time student they mean a full time student at their university not while in high school. So when you register you have to be registered in enough classes (I think 5) to be considered a full-time student by the university otherwise you no longer qualify for the scholarship. So you should be fine dropping the class! :)

Hunter14 is right. You need to be a full-time university student. Your high school student status shouldn't matter
