Late registration is accepted with the payment of a late registration fee.
A full-time graduate student is defined as a student who registers for at least 12 hours of credit for the semester, or a graduate assistant or other student doing work essentially equivalent to that of an assistant who registers for at least 9 hours of credit for the semester. A regular semester course may be dropped at any time through the sixth week of classes, provided the student obtains the approval of his or her faculty advisor and notifies the University registrar on the proper form. No record of such actions appears on the official transcript. At the option of the course instructor, a grade of E may also be attached. In exceptional circumstances, the associate dean for graduate studies may approve dropping a course without record after the start of the seventh week of classes.
