Part-Time Permission Process for Graduating Seniors

Part-time status is based on student request and allowed when students have less that 12 credits needed to complete their degree in their final semester at Tulane. This form and process are not used for any time other than a student's final semester (graduation term). Consult College Advising if you seek part-time enrollment in a semester before your final semester. 

The Part-Time Permission Process

 

The Part-Time process is as follows.

  1. Student meets with College Advisor to complete a graduation application and establish a registration plan for the final Tulane semester. 
  2. Once the graduation application is complete, the College Advisor will send the student a unique form link to the Part-Time Permission Form. Please note that the student must use the link sent to them and cannot use another student's link. 
  3. Student completes the form and returns it to the College Advisor. 
  4. The College Advisor will review the request and the remaining requirements per the degree audit. Once complete, the College Advising leadership team will review it for accuracy. 
  5. If approved, the student will receive confirmation of the lowered minimum credits. The student is responsible for adjusting the schedule to the allowed minimum credits to ensure an accurate billing statement for part-time status. 
  6. Student is responsible for alerting College Advising and adjusting the schedule for any unforeseen need for credits. 

 

Here are some suggestions for graduation accuracy.

  • Students should monitor their audits throughout grading for the current term and registration for the last term. Any missing credits, requirements, or schedule changes are solely the responsibility of the student requesting part-time status. 
  • College Advisors will support student progress in NTC core requirements and overall credit completion.
  • Reviewing major/minor requirements directly with the departments is the only way to ensure completion of major/minor curriculums.
  • Missing transfer credits or abroad credits are the student's responsibility to confirm and should be addressed before the final semester.
