Full Time Matriculation (FT) Course Load and Credits
A student who has been accepted to a graduate program through Graduate Recruitment and Admissions is considered a matriculated student. A graduate student who registers for nine to fifteen credits is considered a full-time student.
Full-time students who fall below the nine credit minimum course load, required to maintain full-time status, must change their status to part-time. Part-time charges will replace full-time charges and any money that has been paid will be transferred to the new charges. Any excess payment will be refunded according to University refund policies. Please note that those enrolling as full-time students may not withdraw from the University as part-time students during the first week of University-wide classes, without incurring the 10% penalty.
