Students may request full-time status certification to enroll in less than 9 credit hours. This is generally used toward the end of a student’s degree program allowing them to focus on their research and writing their thesis or dissertation. It saves money for both student and faculty advisor while completing their degree in a timely manner. Information is here: https://ris-vm2.unl.edu/gradstudies/fulltime/
