* Actual programs of study will differ, in part because so many
parameters pertain (such as varying research schedules).
Most students ultimately take more than the required total number
of credit hours. For students on 12-month state personnel appointments,
you must take
exactly
9
credit hours
during
fall
and spring semesters and 6 credit hours during summer semester
if on an assistantship, or 12 credit hours during fall and spring
semesters and 8 credit hours during summer semester if on a fellowship
(you may take more credits but must pay the additional tuition
and fees). For students on 9-month state personnel appointments,
you may choose
to not register for summer semester; you will need
to contact the Registrar's Office to be assigned a registration
date for the next semester. If you will not be registered for two
or more consecutive semesters, you must file an Interuption of
Graduate Study form and then submit a Readmission Application
form. A student not registered for seven or more years must reapply
using the Admissions form. A student must graduate within five
years of taking the Qualifying Examination or must re-qualify and
submit a new Admission to Candidacy form.
