Full Time Certification

Full Time Certification Request Form (PDF file)

Students taking 12 credit hours or more in a semester are considered full time.

Students taking at least nine but less than 12 credit hours and also have a research or teaching assistantship are certified full time with approval by the department chair.

All other students who wish to be classified as full time must fill out individual Full Time Certification Request forms. This form should be filled out by the student and then submitted to the Graduate Student Coordinator. It should be completed during the first week of classes of each semester. The Graduate Student Coordinator will then put a copy in your departmental file and send the form on to the Registrar. As with all forms it is a good idea for you to retain a copy for your own records.
