• Students can register as a part-time or full-time. Full-time study at the graduate level equates to being registered for at least 9 credits • AU bills graduate students by the credit hour. (JD/MA billing is an exception. While still law students at WCL, students are billed a flat full-time tuition fee that allows students to take up to 17 credits total, whether all Law courses or a combination of Law and SIS courses.) • Students only pay for what they have registered for in that semester, plus university and SIS fees as applicable. • Students must be enrolled for a minimum of 6 credits each semester in order to be eligible for federal financial aid. • International students on F-1 and J-1 visas and students on SIS merit awards must register full-time for 9 credits each Fall and Spring semester. • Students must be registered for at least 1 credit during each Fall and Spring semester until they complete their degree programs.
