Course-based Graduate Students

• Winter 2023 only: Course-based students have the option to select full- or part-time registration. 

• Effective Spring 2023 onward: Course-based students’ registration status (full-time or part-time) will be determined by the number of units in which they enroll each term. Step #4 (confirming address and phone number) will be the final step of the registration initialization process for course-based graduate students admitted Spring 2023 onwards.
