Course Add (Entry) Codes
Add codes are unique numbers given to each student enrollee to manage the enrollment of a particular course. OHS students are usually not required to enter an add code to enroll in OHS courses. In the rare event that this occurs, you may contact the GPA for an add code. If you register for a course outside of our department or program that requires an add code, please contact the department offering the course to request an add code.
Faculty Codes
OHS 578 (Research Techniques), OHS 600 (Independent Study/Research), OHS 700 (Thesis), and OHS 800 (Dissertation) require a faculty code to register. Students must arrange the number of credit hours with their research advisor. Once you’ve done so, you may obtain a faculty code from your advisor or from the GPA.
Course Load Requirements
Full-time quarterly enrollment for graduate students is 10 credits. Students who hold assistantships (RA, TA) or fellowships (trainees) must register for 10 credits during Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters. Pre-doctoral trainees are also required to register for 2 credits in Summer quarter. Students holding assistantships Summer Quarter often also have enrollment requirements; please review your ASE contract carefully. Read the UW’s policy on graduate student enrollment requirements.

Continuous Enrollment/On-Leave Policy
To maintain graduate status, a student must be enrolled on a full-time, part-time, or official on-leave basis from the time of first enrollment in the Graduate School until completion of all requirements for the graduate degree.
