A full-time academic load is defined as 9 or more credits. A
load of 15 credits or more requires the approval of the graduate
program director or the associate dean of academic and student
services.
The following students must register for a
full-time program of 9 or more credits: graduate fellows, research
interns (some credits must be associated with degree-related research),
and graduate and teaching assistants. Fellows, interns, and assistants
must register their appointments according to the appropriate
