Recently, Antioquia Governor Andrés Julián Rendón’s announcement that there are more than 14 semesters of active students at the university created a great controversy.
This has led to divided opinions in the educational community and administrators, according to John Jairo Arboleda, president of the University of Antioquia: “A student can be full-time or part-time. “The minimum amount a partial student must enroll in is eight credits, which is two courses per semester.”
