Graduate Admissions

Classification of Graduate Students

• Full standing: A graduate student in full standing is a matriculated student who has been accepted by both the Department and the Office of the Dean.
• Non-matriculated: A student who enrolls in graduate courses as a post-baccalaureate non-degree student is considered non-matriculated. The student is not a graduate student with full standing in the department. However, up to nine (9) graduate credit hours earned as a non-matriculated student may be applied to the student's graduate program if and when the student is accepted as a matriculated student in full standing in the DAAS graduate program.
• Full-time/Part-time: Normally, nine (9) credit hours are considered full-time for a graduate student. However, the student who holds a graduate teaching assistantship or graduate research assistantship is considered full-time with six (6) hours per semester. Otherwise, the student enrolled for fewer than 9 hours is considered part-time.
