* Transfer and exam credits are equated to semesters of full-time enrollment by dividing the total number of transfer and exam credits by 15. Students enrolled 3/4 time (9 credits per semester) must accrue 75 percent of the credits required of full-time students. Half-time students (6 credits per semester) must accrue 50 percent of the credits required of full-time students. Students approved by the Graduate Office to be considered as full-time status taking one credit hour must successfully complete the one credit hour to be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress.
* Students who enroll for a semester(s) on a less than full-time basis have the minimum time frame equate to a less than whole number, e.g., "10.86 semesters of full-time enrollment".
** Only courses that count towards a degree are included in a student's total accrued credits.
