A. Students are considered to be full time in fall and winter while continuing to work on the thesis research project and are continuing in the program in the summer following winter term registration, and do not need to add any further courses. All students are asked to ensure that they register for PSYT-691, 692 and 693 only once each. PSYT-691 registration should be done in the first semester with PSYT-692 and PSYT-693 added at any time.
