Equivalency

  • NINT 5901 - Equivalency (Fall 2008)

Section A/CRN 2272

Matriculated graduate students registered for fewer 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.  

Registration for equivalency credit takes place during the  registration period.  Students must obtain their advisor's and Director's approval.  Full-time status for New School graduate students is defined as enrollment for nine degree credits per semester.  Half-time status requires a minimum of six degree credits per semester.  Some financial aid agencies and programs require that students register for twelve 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 (nine graduate credits per academic semester for graduate students).  Please check with International Student Services.
