Graduate Students
A normal full-time load for graduate students is nine to twelve graduate-level semester
hours; however, full-time status for students holding graduate assistantships is six
semester hours at the graduate level.
Graduate students are limited to a maximum load of 12 credit hours per term. If an
exception to this 12-hour limit is requested, overload forms must be signed by the
appropriate director of graduate studies and approved by the dean of the College of
Graduate Studies.
