ALL SLP, AuD and PhD graduate students need to complete this the full-time status form for each semester during which the student is registered for FEWER THAN 9 credits in any semester but are on full-time externship, working on a thesis or dissertation, or otherwise in full-time required work.

It is your responsibility to make sure you are consistently enrolled and have full-time status for those reasons.
The student should sign and submit the form (available at https://graduateschool.syr.edu/student-resources/forms/) to the CSD main office (Lisa Shoen at lmshoen@syr.edu) for the Department’s signature. The completed form must be submitted to the Registrar's Office in 106 Steele Hall (and also to the Slutzker Center for International Services for for international students) after obtaining the signature of the Department Chair. The deadline for this form is the same as the "Financial Drop Deadline" for the semester in which full-time status is being certified. This form is important for health insurance and student loan purposes and is your responsibility to submit each semester you are registered for fewer than 9 credits.
The University policy is that graduate students can enroll for a maximum of 15 credits. In general, CSD students will not be permitted to exceed that maximum, because any overload will often compromise the student’s academic or clinical success. In rare circumstances for which a credit overload is needed to accommodate unique scheduling needs, the student may request permission from their advisor and then file a petition for consideration through the Graduate School.
