Students are required to enroll every semester (fall and spring) from the time of matriculation until degree conferral. Students will be required to seek readmission if they do not register every fall and spring term. After you discuss your course plans with your advisor and the Graduate Program Coordinator, you can go online to register at OneStop. This page includes all the information needed to register, including a tutorial for first-time users and course schedules. If a course is closed or you are unable to register, contact the instructor or your Graduate Program Coordinator. For closed courses offered through other departments, you need to directly contact the instructor or department for registration permission. To avoid late fees, students should register before the start of the semester. Full time status is 6–14 credits. Students should register for courses and use the remaining credits (up to 14) to register for thesis credits.
Directed/Independent Study Credits
The Independent study is intended for individual project work that is arranged with a faculty member, usually the advisor. To register, please contact your advisor and inform the GPC. Independent and Directed Study credits are ANSC 8520 and ANSC 8594.
Advanced Status: Full Time Status with One Credit Registration
Advanced Status is for students who need full time status and have completed all their Degree Program coursework and thesis credits. This includes students with a graduate assistantship. There is a deadline to apply.
MS students register for ANSC 8333.
PhD students register for ANSC 8444.
Grad 999
This is a zero credit, no fee registration option that keeps you in active status, which students need to graduate, without having to pay tuition. This does not meet full time status requirements. Graduate students may register for up to four semesters of GRAD 999 while continuing to work on a thesis or Plan B project. A hold will be placed on the student’s registration after four semesters of GRAD 999. In order to register for each additional semester of GRAD 999 in excess of four, the student will be required to get the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) and their advisor. The DGS will confer with the student’s major adviser to determine whether the student is making progress towards completion. If the student demonstrates that they are continuing to work on a thesis or Plan B paper and has a plan to complete the degree, the hold on the student’s registration will be removed and the student will be allowed to register for GRAD 999. The CFANS Scholarly Work Contract must be completed outlining all requirements that must be fulfilled during the semester, and filed in the student’s graduate program file. More information on Advanced Status and GRAD 999 is available on the OneStop website.
