What constitutes full-time versus part-time status for a graduate student?
• This can vary a great deal depending on circumstances. The basic determinant is how many credits you are enrolled in. Less than 9 credits is considered part-time and 9 credits or more is considered full-time. Some exceptions would be if you are on an assistantship, in which case you only need to take 6 or more credits to be considered full-time, as the assistantship will help contribute to full-time status. If you are enrolled in Doctoral Research (999) or Masters Continuing Research (Grad 900) then you will be considered full-time and responsible for full-time fees.
