Any admitted student who fails to enroll for one semester or more must apply for readmission upon return. Status A full-time student is one who is working full time toward his or her degree objective. A nondegree student, however, must register for at least nine credit hours per semester, or six in the summer session, to claim full-time status. No degree student may hold a job, on or off campus, without the express permission of his or her department and the Graduate School. A student may be dismissed from the department or program if the G.P.A. in any one semester is below 2.5 or if the G.P.A. is below 3.0 for two consecutive semesters.
Some departments require higher averages for enrollment and support continuance.
An adequate G.P. A. is only one factor taken into consideration in determining a student s qualifications for an advanced degree. Degree students should be aware of their department s performance criteria. The department and the Graduate School annually evaluate each graduate student s overall performance on the basis of these criteria. A student must be in academic good standing to be eligible for new or continued financial support. All students must enroll each semester in the academic year and register for at least one credit hour per semester to maintain student status.
