Registrar's Office FAQ- Registration

Why must Continuous Enrollment be exactly 8 credit hours?

Enrollment in eight credit hours is considered to be full-time for graduate students at the University of Denver and is, therefore, the number used. Continuous Enrollment is designed for and required of students who have completed all coursework and are pursuing full-time academic work or research required for the completion of their degrees. The enrollment in credit hours, which are not counted towards the students degree and are not posted on a students transcript as earned credit, is the Universitys method of internal tracking and external reporting the full-time status of those students completing non-course degree requirements.
