IX. Registration and Scheduling - Return to Index

Decisions about the number of credit hours and specific course registration should be made by the student and their advisor, within the guidelines of the approved Graduate Course Program.

• Course loads for full-time students range from 12 to 15 hours per quarter, with a maximum of 18.
• Graduate Associates must enroll for a minimum of 9 credit hours each quarter during the Autumn, Winter or Spring quarters.
• Summer quarter enrollment for GAs depends upon the source of support, and ranges from 7 to 12 credit hours.

          Former students returning after an absence of one or more years, or after completing a Master's degree, must obtain permission from the GSC to re-enroll. The allowable courseloads vary for those with fellowships or other sources of support, so consult the Graduate School Handbook for further information.
          New students must pay an acceptance fee prior to obtaining registration materials. Continuing students will be mailed registration materials before the fifth week of the quarter preceding the intended quarter of enrollment. Information regarding the Personal Access Code and the BRUTUS Telephone Registration System is available from the Office of the Registrar. Students can pick up their telephone registration material from their academic advisor. Students bear full responsibility for any problems which arise from failure to consult with their advisor or from failure to follow the approved course program.
