Full-time status is a minimum of 9 credits. Students seeking to take more than 12 credits require the approval of their adviser, department chair, and associate dean.

The policy of the Graduate School of Education is that credit for a course may not be applied toward both of two degrees pursued simultaneously at Rutgers.

The requirements for degrees and examinations and related program requirements are formulated by the faculty in accordance with its best judgment and are intended to provide the strongest possible professional preparation for students.

Modifications to academic regulations may be necessary from time to time. New regulations supersede old regulations.
