Graduate Loads
|
|
|
Based on the level of work required for master- and specialist level students, six (6) hours minimum and up to twelve (12) hours maximum per semester (16-week period) is considered a full-time load. Students may take up to six (6) hours each eight-week term. Up to six (6) hours may be taken each eight-week term during the summer and not more than twelve (12) hours for the entire summer. In certain cases, students may exceed this load if prerequisite undergraduate courses are included as part of the load. Students may not take more than twelve (12) hours of graduate credit in any given semester without the written permission of the Vice President for Graduate Affairs, with the following exceptions, which have been approved by the Graduate Affairs Committee:
- Students seeking initial certification, who are taking a combined graduate and undergraduate course load, are limited to six (6) hours of graduate credit (three (3) hours per 8-week session) and ten (10) hours of undergraduate credit. Students may not be enrolled for more than sixteen (16) hours during any semester in which they are enrolled for a combined course load.
- Doctoral-level students enrolled in 6 hours of credit are classified as full-time. Doctoral-level students enrolled in zero, one, or two credit hours are classified as part-time and continuing toward degree completion. Doctoral-level students enrolled in three, four, or five credit hours are classified as half-time and continuing toward degree completion.
Graduate students carrying a load of three (3) hours are considered to be enrolled half-time. Those enrolled in less than three (3) hours are considered part-time.
