•M.S. students register for Thesis (CRSS 7300) and Research hours (CRSS 7000)
•Ph.D. students register for Dissertation (CRSS 9300) and Research hours (CRSS 9000)
•Loading of these courses by a single person (Vivienne) will facilitate the process and avoid confusion.
Minimun Number of Graduate Hours
• The College has decided to request that all graduate students register for a minimum of 18 credit hours each semester.
• Graduate students should register for research hours (CRSS 7000 or CRSS 9000) as needed to obtain a minimum of 18 hours.
• Because each instance of CRSS 7000 or CRSS 9000 has a limit of 9 hours, students may have to add two instances of the course.
Courses for non-thesis M.S. under AgIdea
• Master in Soil, Water, and Environmental Sciences by distance education.
• Univ. Georgia, Auburn Univ., Clemson Univ., Univ. Kentucky, NCSU, Ohio State Univ., Texas Tech Univ.

• If more than 6 credit hours need to be taken in courses from other universities, how should these courses be incorporated into Program of Study?• Create proxy course numbers at UGA?• Request Grad School to allow transferring
