Does WGU require full time employment as RN during RN to MSN?

I'm in the process of reapplying to WGU's RN to MSN program after withdrawing a few years ago. I've already submitted my explanation as to why I withdrew and paid the $100 reenrollment fee. I received a "memorandum of understanding" where I had to agree that I'll be in the current program with add'l classes. Cool. I'm good with that. But then the email went on to indicate that I've got to be working full time as an RN. At present I am working FT, but my plan was to drop to part time when school starts as school, my health challenges, 40 hour work weeks, and home responsibilities got to be too overwhelming; all of which is why I with withdrew in the first place.

Is this accurate information? If so, I'm not certain WGU is where I belong. Thanks for any insight!

    WGU wants you to be employed as an RN throughout the duration of your enrollment, although their staff will not be telephoning your employer to verify whether your employment status is full-time, part-time or PRN.

    I went to WGU for my MSN and at the time I just had a baby (he was 1 month old). Although I was employed full-time but on maternity, after having by son I felt that my maternity leave was too short so I went to PRN...which meant never really working.... I had told my mentor and that was never an issue. I was able to finish my MS in two terms!!!!
