SoHE & Graduate School Enrollment Requirements

SoHE Enrollment for Funding Eligibility

The School of Human Ecology is subject to the UW Graduate School policy on full-time status requirements for enrollment and receipt of support awards. However, the School of Human Ecology imposes additional enrollment requirements on individual students to receive support through the School of Human Ecology as part of the funding guarantee. To be eligible for funding through the School of Human Ecology, full-time enrollment is a minimum of eight (8) graduate-level credits during an academic semester. Dissertators are considered full-time with three (3) graduate-level credits during an academic semester.

It is the responsibility of the individual graduate student to make sure they meet enrollment requirements. If the graduate student elects not to enroll as a full-time student, they are responsible for knowing about possible obligations and consequences of that decision. Such obligations may include international student VISA eligibility, financial aid, eligibility for fellowships or assistantships, and/or requirements of external funding agencies.

The enrollment requirement must be satisfied by graded courses taken at 300 or above; courses numbered below 300, audit, and pass/fail do not satisfy enrollment requirements. The Graduate School enrollment requirement policy provides additional details.
