(1)  the student, in any of his last 2 terms, was registered for at least 4 courses in a program of college studies or for courses totalling at least 180 periods of instruction in such a program and has a maximum of 3 courses remaining to complete the training prescribed by the program;

(2)  the student has a major functional deficiency within the meaning of the Regulation respecting financial assistance for education expenses (chapter A-13.3, r. 1) and, for that reason, is in a program of college studies as a part-time student within the meaning of the Act respecting financial assistance for education expenses (chapter A-13.3); or

(3)  the student, at the start of the term, was registered for at least 4 courses in a program of college studies or for courses totalling at least 180 periods of instruction in such a program, and remained registered for at least 20% of the duration of that term or those periods of instruction before withdrawing from a course and, as a result, falling below that minimum requirement.

A student deemed to be a full-time student under subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph may be granted such status for 1 term only unless he proves, with supporting documents, that during that term, he was unable to devote himself fully to his studies because of serious reasons such as an illness or the death of his spouse or of a family member, or is unable to complete the program of studies because a required course is not offered until the following term.
