University of Kansas policy for defining graduate student full-time and half-time enrollment can be found in the Academic Catalog.

Students enrolled in fewer hours than defined by half-time enrollment are considered part-time.

All students should check with their graduate degree programs and Graduate Studies' policies to determine if additional enrollment requirements or summer enrollment requirements exist.

International Students

International students in F-1 and J-1 status must also comply with Federal immigration requirements of pursuing a full course of study each semester to maintain their legal status. All international students must conform to residence requirements, even though immigration regulatory requirements may be lower. Questions regarding these requirements may be directed to the KUMC Office of International Programs.
