What are the registration requirements for the full-time students? 

A: All Full-time graduate students (FTs, RAs, LBs, GAs) are required to register for at least 09 credit hours each semester. Full-time graduate students who do NOT register at least 09 credit hours are dropped in the second week of the semester which severely affects their scholarship benefits.

Full-time students must note the following carefully  & act accordingly:

1. Make sure you register at least 9 credit hours of courses.  


2. If you are an MS student with 3/6 credit hours remaining, then you have to register the MS thesis to complete a load of 9/12 credit hours.  


3. MS students whose transcripts show 24 or more earned credit hours are automatically waived from this condition. Receiving this e-mail indicates you do not fall into this category (check your transcript if you think otherwise and act).  


4. MS students with 3 or more courses left are NOT allowed to register for the MS Thesis (XXX 610).


5. Students enrolled in non-thesis degrees, whose transcripts show 36 or more earned credit hours are automatically waived from this condition. Please check your online transcript to make sure if you fall into this category.


6. If you have completed the required 24 credit hours towards your degree but you are receiving this e-mail, please petition to include any uncounted courses (e.g. 400-level courses) towards your degree in order to avoid dropping your registration.


7. Courses with IC grades are not counted automatically. Students with pending IC grades and no more courses to register need to petition to be allowed.


8. PhD students who have registered XXX-710 in previous semesters will continue registering XXX-710 until they graduate. For such PhD students:


1. If only 3 credit hours are remaining to complete the coursework, the student is required to petition to be allowed to register the PhD Dissertation and have 15 registered credit hours.


2. If only 6 credit hours are remaining to complete the coursework, the student is required to petition to be allowed to register for 6 credit hours only.


9.  PhD students, who never registered XXX-710, are required to register and pass XXX-711 first and then take XXX-712 in subsequent semesters. For such PhD students: 


1. If only 3 credit hours are remaining to complete the coursework, the student is required to petition to be allowed to register for 6 credit hours (the remaining course and XXX-711) only.
