Part-time Study for Graduate Students 



FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME STATUS

studentsOnly those students who have been admitted to a graduate program through the School of Graduate Studies may be classified as full-time graduate students. To maintain full-time status, a graduate student must be registered for at least 9 credit hours.

Part-time graduate students are those registered for fewer than 9 credit hours per semester.

A student is registered as full-time or as part-time for tuition purposes. Up to the end of the Add/Drop period, a qualified student may, by submitting the appropriate forms, change from full-time to part-time or from part-time to full-time. After the last day for Add/Drop, there will be no change in status for tuition purposes.

See the section on Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid in the Graduate Catalog for information on tuition charges, payments, refunds, tuition waivers for veterans and senior citizens, and financial aid.
