General courses of The Graduate School are designated TGS. For general information on coursework, visit the Graduate Courses Web page under General Degree Requirements.

All students register through CAESAR.  A current student unable to register online may do so by emailing his or her Student Services Representative.  Doctoral students beyond their eighth quarter of residency may register for courses in addition to TGS 500 as stated in our Advanced Year and Summer Course Registration policy.  Information about deadlines and procedures for registration is available at The Graduate School office, or on our academic calendar.

Courses Required to Be Taken for a Grade
A student who enters a doctoral program at the first-year level must successfully complete at least nine courses for a grade, preferably in the first year of study. A B average must be maintained in these courses. There is also a limitation on independent study registrations described in the General Degree Requirements section in this Web site.

All 590 Research registrations must be taken on a P/N basis rather than for a letter grade. The K grade, not a Y grade, is given when work for 590 remains incomplete at the end of a quarter. The one-year deadline for making up an incomplete does not apply to the K grade. All K grades must be changed by the time the dissertation is submitted to The Graduate School.
