Student Categories
- A
student is classified as full-time if she/he is in residence
in the E.C.E. Department, as indicated by having registered
for nine (9) or more credits for two terms. Subsequent change
to part time status (i.e., fewer than 9 credits per term)
does not change the student's category with regard to departmental
requirements such as a thesis requirement.
- A
student is classified as part-time if she/he registers for
fewer than 9 credits per term (with the possible exception
of one term). International students may be classified as
full-time while registering for fewer than 9 credits/term
with permission of the International Students and Scholars
Office and the graduate advisor.
- Some
students are admitted with a provisional status, until they
can prove their capability to enter the program or enable
them to correct deficiencies in their background. They may
take up to 12 credits after which, if their GPA is 3.0 or
greater, they automatically become a student with full-time
or part-time status.
- Students who enter with an MS are classified as Post MS students.
- A student who has passed the Ph.D. Candidacy Examination is classified as a Ph.D. Candidate.
