Equivalency

  • NINT 5901 - Equivalency (Spring 2010)

Section A/CRN 2114

*** Approval of advisor required before registering.

Matriculated graduate students registered for fewer less than the minimum number of credits necessary for full- or part-time status but who are engaged in approved "equivalent activities" may register for equivalency credit in order to maintain full or part-time status.  This is intended for students who are completing their Master's Projects or for rare equivalency activities that are an integral part of the student's program and must be verified by an appropriate advisor or faculty member.  Approval is not automatic.  There is no tuition charge associated with Equivalency credit, and no grade is given.

Registration for equivalency credit takes place during the normal  registration period. Students must obtain their advisor's and the Director's approval.  Full-time status for New School graduate students is defined as enrollment in 9 degree credits per semester.  Half-time status requires a minimum of 6  degree credits per semester.  Some financial aid agencies and programs require that students register for 12 credits per academic semester; please check with Financial Aid.  Also, international students with certain types of visas are required to register for full-time status (9 graduate credits per academic semester for graduate students).  Please check with an International Student Services Advisor at the International Student Services office.
