GRAD
E699--Graduate Standing Continuation. Provides
continuation of graduate standing for students
working independently on culminating activities
(thesis, project, or comprehensive exam). ***GRAD
E-699 carries zero credit units, has no instructor
of record, and is "graded" CR automatically upon
completion of the term. It is designed to confer
enrollment status for the purpose of the continuous
enrollment policy.*** Registration for this
enrollment status is offered through Extended
Studies (follow the instructions on the
GRAD E699 Enrollment Form).
GRAD E699 is for master's students who have
completed all of their graduate coursework,
including the for-credit supervised thesis/project
coursework called for in their respective graduate
programs. When authorized by the graduate program,
GRAD E699 provides access to certain university
resources (such as use of the library and
e-mail/computing accounts) while the student works
independently to finish the culminating activity.
Students who are still working closely with an
advisor should enroll in their respective
department's graduate-level independent study
course, rather than GRAD E-699.
Graduate Student
Course Load. Graduate students who are
enrolled in nine (9) units or more in a fall or
spring semester are classified as full-time.
Graduate students who hold a University
assistantship requiring one-third time services or
more are considered full-time when enrolled in six
(6) units during an academic term.
