Unless restricted by the department, admission is granted with ETR that includes the session for which admission is granted and the next two sessions. Summer session counts. New graduate students may register after the Graduate School has certified their ETR to the registrar. Continuing graduate students may not register if their ETR has been removed. A student's ETR may be removed by the Graduate School if a student does not satisfy certain admission conditions.
Early registration is recommended.
Late registration will result in additional fees. If a graduate student registers for courses both at Purdue University West Lafayette and Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis in a given academic session or holds a graduate staff appointment at one campus while registering for courses at the other campus, the student may request a waiver of fees at one of the campuses, depending upon the specific situation. To be eligible for this fee remission, an individual must be enrolled as a full-time graduate student at either institution or hold a graduate appointment at either institution. Back to Table of Contents Appropriate Levels of Registration Graduate registration should reflect the student's academic activity as accurately as possible. Guidelines for maximum and minimum limits are outlined in the following two tables and explained by the notes that follow the tables.
