Guidelines for Registration

To register for courses, please login to OSCAR.

For part-time students, the minimum load is three credit hours.

Full-time enrollment is required of all students receiving financial aid and for international students on visas. You must register for a minimum of twelve hours of letter-grade and/or pass/fail thesis or dissertation credit hours to maintain your status as a full-time student. Failure to register on time might delay the payment of a fellowship stipend or tuition payment.

Research assistants doing thesis research must sign up for thesis hours (ME/NRE/MP 7000 for the MS and ME/NRE 9000 for the Ph.D.). Graduate research assistants conducting research should register for letter-grade course work (usually six to nine hours) and sufficient thesis hours to bring the total load to 21 credit hours. Teaching assistants may add three audit hours in recognition of the teaching assignment (ME/NRE 8997). The Institute Policy on Hour Loads for Graduate Students is found at: www.gradadmiss.gatech.edu/thesis/policies/hr_load_grad.pdf
