Once admitted (or readmitted) to an MIT advanced degree program, a person becomes a student at the start of the term for which he or she was admitted. The person retains regular student status until graduation, unless the student withdraws, is required to withdraw, or fails to complete registration.
Each student is assigned to a departmental faculty member who serves as the student’s graduate registration officer. The registration officer must approve the student’s program as well as any subsequent changes.
Pursuit of a graduate degree on a part time basis is not permitted. All graduate students at the Institute are registered on a full time basis.
Non-degree special students may register part-time if it does not conflict with immigration requirements.
