Minimal Registration
Once all residence requirements are met, students need only register for 1 credit of ANTH 699 each semester to remain enrolled in the PhD program. Also, two types of minimal registration are possible for the candidate who intends to finish a degree but cannot meet specified deadlines. A candidate who has finished all degree requirements prior to the first day of the academic session of graduation but who has not been awarded the degree may request registration for “degree only" at a reduced fee. A student who has finished all but the final examination may register for “exam only" at a reduced fee. In both instances, the degree requirements must be completed by the eighth week of the semester.
