Full-time Status
Any semester that you are not enrolled full-time (at least 9 credits) for coursework, including thesis or dissertation credits (e.g., during semesters you are in the field conducting research), you may need to request full-time status to be eligible to receive fellowships, scholarships, and student loans. Your major advisor must recommend a full-time status to the GPD, who will upgrade your status to full on SPIRE. A memo is no longer needed to request an enrollment status change. Note, this must be done before the last day of add/drop for the semester and does not have to be done during the summer months.
