OGS/Part-Time Study

During the second year of the MA program, international students who are taking professional writing or the exam seminar can apply for Full Time Equivalency in the fall semester when taking less than 12 credits, and then receive OGS approval for part-time enrollment in the spring semester, as it is the final semester before graduation. 

The online form for part-time enrollment is available through OGS.  An OGS advisor will review your request form and notify you by email that your request has been approved or denied (or request more information if necessary) within 10 business days. You need to receive approval prior to the start of the semester when you will be part-time. 

Information about pre-completion and post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) for F-1 students is available here.
