Suggested Timeline

Most students take two courses per semester due to workload and other commitments. UNT considers two courses per semester to be part-time status. To be eligible for partial financial aid, graduate students must take more than five hours (or two classes), but to receive full financial aid, students must take nine hours (or three courses).
