REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

Students participating in the TBP must be full-time, matriculated graduate students in good standing, cumulative GPA 3.0 (Law School, 2.0). TBP full-time student status means registration of at least 9 credit hours throughout the semester. This provision does not affect full-time definitions or requirements currently employed for the purpose of loan repayment, student insurance, or other reporting requirements. TBP covers 9 graduate credit hours to a maximum of 12 credit hours, except for RAs whose tuition benefit is a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 11 credit hours in Fall and Spring semesters and 3 credit hours in Summer semester. For RAs who have exceeded 84 accumulated credit hours resident (in-state) tuition only is included in the TBP. This condition will be implemented in the semester that cumulative registration exceeds 84 credit hours as a University of Utah graduate student. Undergraduate, contract and/or audited courses count toward the required minimum 9 credit hours but do not qualify for a tuition benefit. A student registered for fewer than 9 credit hours may make up the difference by registering for 6970, 6980, 7970, 7980, or other appropriate graduate credit. Students may register for a maximum 16 semester hours but are responsible for tuition for hours exceeding 12 credits. Students adding and/or dropping courses after the semester's published add/drop deadlines are responsible for any and all charges incurred. If registration falls below 9 credit hours at any time during the semester, a student becomes ineligible for TBP participation and will be billed the full tuition for that semester.
