Important considerations
- If you register for Continuation fee or are taking less than nine credits and wish to be considered a full-time student you must ask your major advisor to email this request to GPD Director Assistant Sara Kelley to upgrade your status to 'full-time' in SPIRE. There is no longer a need for a memo from the GPD; an email from your major advisor is all that is necessary. Note, you will need full-time status to be eligible to receive most student loans, scholarships, and fellowships.
- IMPORTANT: You must register full-time (9 credits) for two consecutive semesters (residency requirements) to be eligible for graduation. When considering registering for the Continuation fee as opposed to credits, make sure you meet this requirement.
- GEO eligible students pay 5% of the health plan costs. If you are taking less than five credits or on program fees, you must re-enroll in person at the health center at the beginning of each semester. If you are taking more than five credits, you should be automatically enrolled in the health plan, but you might still want to check with the health center. You must go and pay your health fee and sign a form at the beginning of the semester to get your insurance for that semester if you are on continuation fee.
- In addition to the above fees, there is an entering student fee that you must pay during your first semester.
