Auditing Courses
-
Audited courses do not count towards your status as a full-time student. For example, if you are taking 8 credits, but 3 of those credits come from an audited course, you are technically enrolled in 5 credits, which may or may not be enough to keep you as a full-time student.
-
Audited courses do count towards your tuition remission and mandatory fees. You can only take up to 10 credits with tuition remission. You cannot go over 10 credits, even if some credits are audited.
Mandatory Fees
Enrolling in 9 credits or more (even if some credits are audited) will result in mandatory fees of $727. However, enrolling in 8 credits or less will result in mandatory fees of $376.50.
Full- Time Status
To be a full-time student, you need 48 units. Please confirm you have 48 units on your schedule using the information below. Note: If you are a TA/RA/Grader, your assistantship is worth 24 units; therefore your course schedule only needs to carry 24 or more units.
Courses in the series 000-399 carry 2 units per credit hour.
Courses in the series: 400-499 carry 4 units per credit hour.
Courses in the series: 600-897 carry 6 units per credit hour.
Master's Research course: 799 carries 12 units per credit hour.
Pre-candidacy Doctoral Research courses: 898 carries 18 units per credit hour.
Doctoral Dissertation Research: 899 carries 18 units per credit hour. All doctoral candidates will be automatically registered for six (6) credit hours of 899; this defines all currently registered doctoral candidates as full-time.
Outside Courses: Not all classes outside the math department are covered by your tuition remission. Graduate Programs with Non-standard Tuition and Fees:
- College of Information Studies
- JPSM
- Office of Advanced Engineering Education
- Office of Extended Studies – Professional Programs

Resource Reminders
All PhD students have access to the prospectus repository to upload and view peer's prospectus papers when applying for candidacy. If you have already advanced, it would be helpful to fellow students to upload your prospectus as they prepare for their own candidacy exams.
All students have access to the Math Job Page for internship, fellowship, and career opportunities. Please check periodically.
Find an Advisor SpreadsheetThis resource is designed to help you explore potential research advisors, whose research aligns with your interests. This spreadsheet includes information on faculty research areas, whether they are accepting students, their availability, their students' research, and more.
