The Institute for the Medical Humanities Graduate Program at UTMB - GSBS Requirements for Full-Time Registration

The general policy of the UTMB Graduate School for Biomedical Sciences is that all degree-seeking students must be enrolled full time, which means registering for at least nine hours a semester. It is possible to request a waiver on a semester-by-semester basis. A request for such a waiver should be made in writing to the graduate program director, who will then forward the request to the dean for approval if it has appropriate justification. At the dean's discretion, waivers may be granted for full-time UTMB employees, for those with significant clinical responsibilities, and for others in special circumstances. NB: Waivers from this full-time requirement are not possible for students on stipend. That is, only full-time students are eligible for stipends.

The Graduate School also requires that each degree-seeking student must spend one year in residence as a full-time student or seek a special waiver as spelled out in Sections 4.6111 and 4.6211 of the Graduate School's Bylaws and Academic Policies (available at http://www.gsbs.utmb.edu/bylaws.html).
