Continuous registration is required of all degree candidates, save those “off-plan” or on Leave of Absence (see below). Students who receive funding must be “full-time.” Students must be registered at least ½ time to be eligible for most loans. Also, registration status will determine when loans become payable (students should check with their individual lenders). The GSAS billing units that determine status and eligibility are listed below.

A Residence Unit is simply the term for registering for a semester of full-time study. It may or may not involve coursework.

RESIDENCE UNITS

• One (1) RESIDENCE UNIT: “Full-time” status
• ½ RESIDENCE UNIT: “Part-time” status, may take up to three courses per semester, four semesters to fulfill requisite residence units for M.A., eligible for some loans, some loans may become payable.
• ¼ RESIDENCE UNIT: “Part-time” status, may take up to two courses, eight semesters to complete requisite residence units for M.A., ineligible for most loans, most loans become payable.

      * All M.A. candidates must complete two (2) full Residence Units to be eligible for the degree.
      *  M.Phil. candidates must complete six (6) residence units (four Residence Units beyond those of the M.A. year).

• EXTENDED RESIDENCE (ER): ER is for M.Phil./Ph.D. candidates who have completed six (6) Residence Units and either hold a teaching appointment or plan to take courses. ER confers “full-time” status to students and allows them to take unlimited classes. Cost is covered for students on teaching appointment.
• MATRICULATION AND FACILITIES (M & F): M&F is normally for advanced students who are neither on a teaching appointment nor planning to take courses.
• M&F F/T: “Full-time” status, no classes.
• M&F P/T: “Part-time” status, no classes, loans may become payable.
