Department of Dance
Course Loads - MA Grad Handbook
The minimum number of semester hours that may be carried by a full-time student is six and the maximum is 15. A normal full-time load in the Department is considered to be 10 semester hours. Students who hold assistantships (anywhere in the University) may carry a maximum of 10 semester hours. This load is acceptable as long as the 10 semester hours do not jeopardize a grade point average of B or better. Under exceptional circumstances, the Graduate Faculty can approve a heavier load. Apply in writing, including a full description of all course work and TA responsibilities, to the Graduate Coordinator. The minimum number of hours a graduate assistant may carry is six.
