Late Adds
...
Late fees for registration can be substantial, and the amount of paperwork needed to late-register is cumbersome. If you failed to register by the UT deadline (or if you did not pay by the deadline and were dropped from your classes by the Registrar), contact the EDP Graduate Coordinatorthe EDP registration staff person. If it is prior to the 12th class day (for long semesters) or 4th class day (for Summer), the department may be able to directly add you back to your classes. After these dates, however, paperwork will be required:
- Graduate Add-Drop Form — paper-only form required for adds, drops and grade status change after the 12th class day. It can be picked up from SZB 504 or the Graduate Studies office in MAI 101Contact the EDP registration staff person for assistance with add/drops after the 12th class day.
- Late Enrollment Form — if after the 12th class day you are not enrolled in any courses, you'll need a petition from the Graduate AdviserAdvisor and the graduate Late Registration Form.
Late Drops
Graduate students may drop a class through the last class day of a semester, and the instructor will assign a symbol of Q (Quit) or F (Fail). The form you need to late-drop a class can be obtained from the Graduate Coordinator. Because the form requires the signatures of the Graduate AdviserAdvisor, it is best to decide to drop a course prior to the last week of classes.
More information about Add/Drop deadlines and policies via the Graduate School.
Continuous Registration
All students are expected to register and pay tuition and fees by the appropriate deadlines until graduation (this continuous registration rule does not apply to summer sessions).
Full-Time Course Load
Full-time status is necessary to receive most University fellowships, reside in University housing, and be employed for an academic appointment (Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, Assistant Instructor, etc.). Full-time student status is typically required for visa permits for international students (until candidacy), and is frequently required for student loans or deferment of existing loans (check the Office of Student Financial Services or your lender). Full-time registration in the summer, for the purposes of having an academic appointment (TA, RA, AI, etc.) is three hours (either summer session).
...
The maximum course load for a graduate student during long semesters is 15 hours; 12 hours for the summer session. A heavier course load must have the recommendation of the Graduate Adviser Advisor and approval of the Graduate Dean. Approval is granted only under certain circumstances. Contact the EDP Graduate Coordinator if you need to take more than the maximum number of hours.
...
Typically, a graduate student may apply for a leave of absence of no more than two long semesters. Requests for a leave of absence must be recommended by your faculty adviser advisor to your area's Program Director, who will email a leave of absence request to the Graduate Adviser Advisor (including details regarding duration and reason for the leave), who will notify the Dean of Graduate Studies.
...
A graduate student whose GPA falls below 3.0 will be warned by the Graduate School. The student must attain a satisfactory GPA during the subsequent semester or be subject to termination. The student may not drop a course or withdraw from a course during this period without approval of the Graduate Adviser and Advisor and Graduate Dean.
Unless the course is only offered CR/NC, EDP students must pass all courses used to satisfy degree requirements with a letter grade of B- or better. You don’t want to have to repeat a course, so make sure you are signed up for the correct grade status.
...
The GSC may recommend termination to the Dean of Graduate Studies if a student is not making satisfactory progress. Again, contact your faculty adviser advisor to learn what constitutes satisfactory academic progress in your area/program. Students have the option to voluntarily withdraw from the doctoral program.
