Full‐time enrollment is considered nine graduate credit hours in the fall semester, nine graduate credit hours in the spring semester, and six graduate credit hours in the summer semester. If a graduate assistant is enrolled in the last semester of his/her program of study, the number of registered semester hours may be less than the full‐time requirement. Graduate assistants must comply with all Office of Graduate Studies enrollment requirements to retain their assistantship as stated in the Graduate Catalog. For specifics regarding Graduate Assistantship requirements, guidelines, and policies, refer to the Graduate Assistant Policies and Guidelines Handbook. Note ‐ Criminal History Background Checks may be required depending on the appointment. Reference USF Policy 0‐615. |
