Is it possible to go from a full-time student to a part-time student?

Part-time vs. full-time status is determined by the number of credits you register for each semester. There isn't anything special you need to do to go from one status to another - taking 9 or more credits is considered full-time, taking fewer than 9 credits is considered part-time.

How are individuals and groups graded in the Capstone Program?

Students are graded on both the products they deliver to their clients and evidence of progressive learning throughout the course. Grades account for students' participation in both class activities and team work and their ability to act on peer and faculty feedback.

How do I maintain matriculation?

A degree can only be awarded to a student who has been continuously matriculated for each fall and spring term since entering the program. To maintain matriculation when you are not actively enrolled in courses, please read about your options.
