It is important to note that graduate students are required to be enrolled in order to hold a graduate appointment (fellowship, assistantship, or hourly). Please also be aware that enrollment requirements may vary depending on departmental policies, and some fellowships with external funding sources may be subject to additional enrollment requirements. Students should also consult with the Office of Financial Aid and ISSS, as appropriate, particularly to discuss the possible impact of dropping courses.
