GALLATIN SCHOOL OF INDIVIDUALIZED STUDYaffect satisfactory academic progress, students should consult with the Office <strong>of</strong> Financial Aidbefore dropping courses.International students are required to be registered for full-time course work (see Full-Time/Part-Time Status,below).Because dropping courses could affect a student’s full-time status,all international students should consult with the Office for International Students andScholars.III. FULL-TIME/PART-TIME STATUSThe programs and courses <strong>of</strong>fered at the <strong>Gallatin</strong> <strong>School</strong> are designed for students who attendcourses during the day or the evening, on a full-time or part-time basis. During the falland spring semesters, full-time status requires a minimum <strong>of</strong> 12 units <strong>of</strong> course work perterm.Students who register for 11 units or fewer during these terms are considered part time.Financial aid awards are contingent on a student making satisfactory academic progress towardthe degree. Students who complete fewer than 6 units in a fall or spring term may notbe eligible for federal loans or financial aid. Information about full-time and part-time standingand satisfactory progress guidelines is available from the Office <strong>of</strong> Financial Aid.Full-time or half-time equivalency may be granted to a student taking fewer than the requirednumber <strong>of</strong> units under certain conditions: a student who is working full time on thethesis and is registered for either Thesis and Defense or Thesis Advisement; a student whois taking the last units needed for the degree, excluding the 3 units for Thesis and Defense;a student working as a graduate assistant or research assistant for at least 20 hours per week;or a student who is taking an approved graduate class at another university through concurrentregistration (see External Study, below). Students who wish to apply for equivalencymust submit the Full-Time and Half-Time Equivalency form no later than two weeksbefore the first day <strong>of</strong> classes in the semester for which equivalency is requested.Please note: Equivalency is used to help students retain their eligibility for loans, but it doesnot make a student eligible for scholarships. Scholarship funding can be used ONLY to coverthe actual cost <strong>of</strong> tuition generated by enrollment in courses, the actual number <strong>of</strong> units forwhich a student is enrolled. Equivalency status does not grant full-time status for scholarshippurposes, thus students receiving a scholarship would not be eligible to retain the scholarshipbased on equivalency. Please note that during the semester in which you are registered forMaster’sThesis and Defense orThesis Advisement,you will be registered for fewer than six unitsand, therefore, not able to receive a <strong>Gallatin</strong> scholarship.You may still, however, be eligible forloans. Please consult the Office <strong>of</strong> Financial Aid, at 212-998-4444, for more information.International Students: International students are required to be registered for full-timecourse work. For more information about the policies governing international students,contact the Office for International Students and Scholars.<strong>New</strong><strong>York</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Bulletin</strong> 2012-2013 91
