Registration and Academic Status

Full-Time Status

A graduate student (domestic or international) is considered full-time if he or she is registered for a minimum of:

• 9 semester credit hours during a fall or spring semester;
• 6 semester credit hours in a 10-week summer semester; or
• 3 semester credit hours in a five-week summer term.

A Q grade before the 12th class day does not count toward the certification of enrollment status.

Colleges and departments may impose additional semester credit hour requirements for a student holding an assistantship or fellowship which exceeds the minimum stated above.

There are special considerations related to “full time status” for an international student. Please refer to the information on this subject elsewhere in this section.

A student who has financial assistance should consult the Department of Student Financial Aid, Texas A&M University, 2nd floor, The Pavilion, 1252 TAMU, College Station, TX 77843-1252, (979) 845-3236, for registration requirements.
