Registration Framework

Full time status requires students to register for 12 credits. In order to work as a GRA or GTA, students must maintain full-time status for the duration of the semester.

• 9 credits must be for a grade (pass-fail, satisfactory unsatisfactory, letter grade).

• 3+ credits can be for Audit (no grade).

  • Students should register for 3 credits in either CS 8997 (GTA assistantship) or CS 8998 (GRA assistantship) for 'audit'. These courses are permit restricted, and permits are issued to all currently hired students prior to registration. If you find you need a permit, reach out to Theresa Nash.

• Every semester you MUST register for research credit, this course is graded satisfactory-unsatisfactory.

  • CS 8999 (Pre-Qualifier) Sat/Unsat. Variable credit between 1–12 credits.
  • CS 9000 (Post-Qualifier) Sat/Unsat. Variable credit between 1–12 credits.

Late Registration

Students can usually make registration changes in the days following the registration deadline by reaching out directly to the Registrar's Office.

If students want to make schedule changes later than this, they must submit a 'Petition to the Faculty'. The student will complete this form paying special attention to the reason for the request. The student will then route the form through DocuSign first to the IC department academic program manager and then to the registrar. Once the registrar receives the form, they will either approve the request and make the requested changes, or deny the request and provide a reason.
