Understanding registration status
If you are in a thesis-based program
- Your registration status is full-time unless your Graduate Program allows for part-time registration and you have received approval form your program (see below).
- Full-time thesis-based students will normally work an average of 40 hours per week on program-related activities, including course work, systematic reading, laboratory or other research work related to the production of thesis proposals and/or defence of thesis and thesis proposals, field work, and study for candidacy examinations.
If you are a course-based student
- You are considered full-time if you are enrolled in at least 6 units during each of the Fall and Winter terms, and at least 3 units during each of the Spring and Summer terms.
- You are considered part-time if you are enrolled in less than 6 units during each of the Fall and Winter terms, and less than 3 units during each of the Spring and Summer terms.
