General Reminders About Academic Progress

Academic Standing Requirement

A grade point average of B (3.0) is required to maintain good standing as a graduate student and to fulfill requirements for the degree.

Credit Hour Requirements

Graduate students must complete a minimum of six credit hours during each 12-month period to be continuously enrolled. Full-time enrollment for graduate students is nine credit hours during the Spring and Fall semesters and four credit hours during the Summer semester.

For students on assistantship, full-time enrollment for the Spring and Fall semesters is based on the percentage of employment. For students employed 50% (half-time) or greater, full-time enrollment for the Spring and Fall semesters is six credit hours and three credit hours for the summer semester. Graduate assistants employed during the summer are required to enroll in a minimum of three credit hours.

Graduate students must be enrolled in a minimum of two credit hours during any semester they are utilizing the University resources. All graduate students are required to be enrolled in at least two credit hours the semester they graduate.

Graduate students are no longer permitted to enroll in research hours after the initial enrollment period for that semester had expired. Graduate students are expected to adhere to the enrollment regulations set forth by the Office of the Registrar and the Graduate College.

Oklahoma State University offers graduate students a wide variety of academic and other services to assist them in their professional, academic, and personal development.
