Begin readings about the policies, procedures and student responsibilities.

 

Step Three: Research course offerings for the upcoming semester: 

  • To be listed as full-time, graduate students must be enrolled in nine or more graduate credit hours.
  • Most often, graduate students pursuing a research-based degree will enroll in six credit hours of coursework, and three credit hours of research. This does differ from student to student, and your faculty advisor will be the best resource to help you identify what will best support your research.

 

Step Four: Document what courses you intend to take by filling out the Registration Approval                                  Document.

 

Step Five: Schedule an appointment with the graduate advisor to learn how to enroll in courses                              through the University of Utah registration system.
