• Exceptions to Minimum Full Time Enrollment

• (each of these requires prior approval from the PDSO):
•

• 2. Unfamiliarity with US Teaching systems or difficulty with the language- this is only available during the first semester, and must be authorized by the DSO.
• 3. Last semester, and student needs less than full load to complete degree program. DSO may authorize this after notification from advisor and confirmation from Registrar's Office that student will graduate that semester.
