Master’s students who have completed all course requirements and are working as a graduate assistant, may qualify for WRIT 8333 Master Advanced Standing (which reduces the benefits that the hiring department must pay). For more information, please review the requirements at : http://www.grad.umn.edu/current_students/ registration/ and contact the Programs Administrator before you file the form.
Students who are not working as a graduate assistant but want to maintain “active status” in the program may register for Grad 0999. Grad 0999 is a free, zero credit registration. It satisfies the Graduate School’s registration requirement. It does not satisfy registration requirements set by departments or agencies in or outside of the University; it does not satisfy the registration required to hold an assistantship. The RSTC program limits registration in Grad 0999 to two terms only.
