Frequently Asked Questions

The main difference is the number of credits you must enroll in within a specific time period in order to maintain continuous enrollment. With full-time status, you have to register every fall and spring semester at a minimum of 6 credits, until your degree is awarded. With part-time status, you have to register for at least one 3-credit course each academic year.

The part-time status allows for taking the occasional semester off without breaking the continuous enrollment policy or completing the request to take a leave of absence.

Master’s degrees must be completed within a six-year period regardless of your enrollment status (full or part-time).

Doctoral degrees must be admitted into candidacy (successfully completed their comprehensive exams) within the first four years from the time of admission and the dissertation defended within four years of being admitted into candidacy for a total of 8 years maximum to complete a doctoral degree.
