Residency Policy & Credit Loads

5/16/2013

0 Comments

 
The Residency Policy has been changed to reflect that 7 credits
or more are considered to be “in excess of one-half of a normal full time credit
load.” This change was posted on May 14, 2013. Here is a link to the updated
policy. http://www.mus.edu/borpol/bor900/940-1.pdf

I understand that this may cause confusion for students for the
upcoming semesters. The board item that made the temporary change to 8 credits
or more did explicitly state that the change was temporary and would
  automatically expire after the spring semester 2013. http://www.mus.edu/board/meetings/2012/Sept2012cc/156-101-C0912.pdf
  
In addition, the posted policy also noted in the history section
at the end of the policy that the change was temporary and would expire after
spring semester 2013.

I hope this information will help in explaining to students why
they cannot register for 7 credits for the fall semester if they are trying to
establish residency.  If our office can provide any assistance, please do
not hesitate to contact me.
 
Thanks-
Jessica
