Academic LoadsA graduate student enrolled in the fall or spring semester for nine or more credit hours is considered full time. A graduate student enrolled in the summer semester for five or more credit hours is considered full time. Any student enrolled in less than the above number of hours is considered part time. A student’s academic load may be restricted as deemed fit by the student’s graduate adviser or the master’s committee. International students will be required to take an English Proficiency Test administered by the International Student Affairs Office. Performance on the test may result in recommendations that the student take one or more English language courses during the first semester. It is strongly recommended that the student abide by those recommendations.Students holding graduate teaching assistantships and graduate research assistantships should take a minimum of six credit hours during each of the fall and spring semesters, and a minimum of three credit hours during the summer session. However, GTA/GRAs who have completed all coursework and who are working on research need only to enroll in one credit hour. International students must abide by the requirements of the U.S. Immigration Service and should consult the International Student Affairs Office regarding this matter.
