Every graduate student, except those with non-degree status,
must be enrolled as a full-time, half-time, or less than half-time
student each fall and spring term to maintain his or her status.
All degree graduate students must enroll in either: adviser-approved
course work; thesis, professional project, or dissertation credits;
one of the continuous enrollment courses; or a combination of
the above. Degree students who fail to enroll for every fall
and spring term must apply for readmission to their program.
(See Readmission)
Full-time Student
A full-time graduate student is defined
as one who:
a) registers for seven or more credit hours of cumulative course
work in one or more modules of a fall term, spring term or summer
term*,
or
b) registers in the departmental 293 continuous enrollment
course.
Half-time Student
A half-time graduate student is defined as
one who: a) registers for four or more but fewer than seven credit
hours of cumulative*
course work in one or more modules of a fall term, spring term
or summer term, or b) registers in the departmental course 292,
section 1002, continuous enrollment course.
Less Half-time Student
A less-than-half-time
graduate student is defined as one who:
a) registers for fewer
than four credit hours of cumulative
course work in one or more modules of a fall term, spring
term or summer term* or
b) registers in the departmental course
292, section 1001, continuous enrollment course.
* "Cumulative" means adding all credits taken in all
modules within any one term.
Note: During fall and spring terms,
the status attained is effective only for the module(s) in
which the credits are taken. For the
summer term, the status attained applies to the entire term
regardless of the module(s) in which the credits are taken.
