See the Graduate School policies on Late Registration for more information about deadlines and procedures.
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 Advisor 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 Advisor, 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 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.
