International Student Exchange & Study Abroad Resource Center Enrollment Status | College Office of Graduate Affairs KU defines full-time graduate enrollment as 9 credit hours and half-time as 5 hours. For summer session, full-time enrollment is 6 credit hours, while half-time enrollment is 3 credit hours. If a student is enrolled in fewer hours than half-time, then that student is considered to be enrolled part-time.

Failure to enroll or delays in enrollment directly impact the student's enrollment status and can cause the student to incur additional expense. Student's who wish to apply for a temporary leave from the graduate program should contact the department to petition for a Leave of Absence.
