COURSE LOAD
An appropriate course load is dependent upon two factors: the
scholastic ability of the student as reflected by his/her academic
history and the time available for study. A course load of nine
semester hours constitutes a normal full semester program for
a graduate student. This is lower than the normal undergraduate
load because of the extensive reading, independent thinking and
individual research required of graduate students. Generally,
graduate students should not register for more than 12 semester
hours during a semester.
Nine hours constitutes a full load for a graduate assistant, and
a graduate assistant must register for at least six graduatelevel
semester hours during each semester.
