Duncan Research Fund

Request Funding for Travel (not eligible for Duncan Research Fund)

Students who have met the graduate residency requirement and have fewer than 9 credits required in their final semester can apply to change to part-time student status.

  • Part-time students are not eligible for departmental financial support for tuition.  The university charges a minimum tuition amount for part-time students, beyond which tuition will be charged on a per-credit rate.  You can learn more here.
  • Part-time students are charged tuition for audited courses.
  • Part-time students are given lower priority with regard to selection as an AMS Teaching Assistant.
  • International students in their final semester must enroll in at least one on-site, graded course that will be used to meet degree requirements.  Online courses are not acceptable. International students are advised to consult with OIS before requesting a change of status.

The status change application process can take several weeks, so students should start well in advance of the semester they wish to attend part-time.  Please be aware that a student will not be able to drop below 9 credits in SIS and a student’s bill will not be adjusted until all steps are completed and the Registrar’s Office is able to change their status in SIS.

The Spring 2025 deadline for completion of Step 2  is Thursday, January 30, 2025.  Requests to change to part-time status will not be considered after this date.  (The Fall 2025 deadline is TBA.)

In order to apply for part-time status, students must:

Step 1

Step 2

  • Domestic students should submit an email request to Kristin Bechtel for part-time approval.
  • International students should complete a F-1 Reduced Course Load form in the OIS iHopkins system, entering their faculty advisor’s name and contact information.  Advisors can sign this form once a student has a fully approved Master’s proposal form.

Step 3 (international students only)

  • Once OIS reviews a reduced course load request, students will receive an email notification saying their office has reviewed your RCL request and that you may enroll part-time in the upcoming semester.  Please submit that email or revised I-20 to Kristin Bechtel showing the approval.  The department can then notify the Registrar of the change to part-time status.
