Can Failing A Course Make You Part Time?

Can someone please oh please tell me whether failing a course will make you part time? Has any student here failed a course which in turn has dropped your credits for that semester?

I know that to become eligible for PGWP, you need to study full time continuously. In my college, full time is 9 credits or more. Do they mean that you voluntarily should not go part time? What if you are enrolled in 9 credits, but you fail one course in that semester? Does that drop you to part time? Will that be an issue for the PGWP? Won't they see that you were full time that semester and would retake that course next semester?

I'm worrying so much about this one, I just need some input.

Failing a course doesn't make you part time, you still took the course. Problems can happen in your next semester if you fail a prerequisite you might not be allowed to take some courses in next semester which could cause you to become part time.

Thanks for the reply. If you repeat the same course next semester, is that still counted as valid credit? Will they say that its not valid since you took the same course as you did in the last semester?

What I mean is, if you have to take 3 courses to become full time, and you repeat the same course next semester, will you have to take 4 courses the next semester (including the repeated one) to make up?

Did you find your answer?
I also failed a course in my 2nd semester and due to that my total credits count dropped from 11 to 8 credits in that particular semester? So in such case were we still a full time student?
