(1) during the regular academic year, be a full-time student matriculated in an approved program in a school or degree-granting institution in this State, unless out-of-state study is approved during the regular academic year; and

(2) prior to the term of the application, have earned 24 semester hours, or its equivalent, from such school or institution in the two immediately preceding, consecutive semesters, or their equivalent, provided that for students pursuing a program of study at a degree-granting institution, the 24 semester hours may include the equivalent of three semester hours of remedial course work per semester.

(b) For the purposes of this section, all attendance during a single summer period shall be considered to constitute a single term of attendance. To be eligible for an award for half-time accelerated study, a student shall be a full-time student during the preceding term and shall have earned 24 semester hours, or its equivalent, from such school or institution in the two immediately preceding consecutive semesters, or their equivalent, provided that for students pursuing a program of study at a degree-granting institution, the 24 semester hours may include the equivalent of three semester hours of remedial course work per semester.

(1) The term of study shall be a separately organized term in addition to the regular academic year, with separate registration and separate charge for tuition and fees.
