Part-Time Status

Any undergraduate student who wishes to be considered for part-time status must file a change of status petition, each quarter. Graduate students who wish to be considered for part-time status must file a change of status petition one time and the part time status will continue until cancellation or until the student enrolls full-time. Petitions for part time status must be filed with the Office of the University Registrar, along with supporting documentation, no later than the 10th day of instruction—Jan 15 . The Petition to Change Status form is available
http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/html/office_of_the_registrar_forms.html.

Part-time status provides students with opportunities to pursue bachelor's and some graduate degree programs on a part-time basis with a waiver of minimum progress requirements. Students are eligible for part-time status if they have been admitted to the university but are unable to study full time because of occupation, health problems, family responsibilities, or if they are a graduating senior (one quarter exemption only). Graduate students who have advanced to candidacy are not eligible for part-time status. Full-time and part-time students use the same facilities and are eligible for the same services, including the Student Health Center.

Approved part-time students pay the same fees as full-time students, but pay only one-half of the Educational Fee. Nonresident part-time students pay one-half the nonresident tuition. If you qualify for a refund as a part-time student, you may request the refund from Student Accounting at myAccount@ucdavis.edu; direct deposit of your refund is available, sign up at http://directdeposit.ucdavis.edu.

The part-time program regulations require that study lists reflect no more than 10 units (including workload units) for under-graduates, and no more than six units for graduates, by the 10th day of instruction—Jan 15. If, after the 10th day, you are enrolled over the limit, you will be billed for full fees and changed to full-time status for current and future quarters.

Applicants for admission or readmission to the university as new or readmitted part-time students must apply through normal channels and meet the same application deadlines as applicants for full-time study. Applications are available at the Office of the University Registrar. Approved part-time status applications must be filed by the 10th day of instruction—Jan 15. For information, call the Office of the University Registrar at (530) 752-3639 (voice) or (530) 752-5149 (TDD).
