Initial registration and add/drop, when permitted, is conducted through Internet-based, enterprise client-server applications allowing both new and continuing students to register from any computer on campus or from off-campus locations that have the capability and capacity to connect and authenticate the student-user to the secure IU network.

All continuing graduate students are eligible to register starting the Monday of Priority Registration Week for the upcoming semester. Priority Registration week falls on the 3rd or 4th week of March for the next Fall semester, and the 3rd of 4th week of October for the upcoming Spring and Summer semesters. Newly admitted graduate students may register starting when the campus moves to Open Registration, on the Friday of Priority Registration Week. 

8 credits per semester is considered "full time" for graduate students; and 4 credits per semester is "half time" enrollment.
