[Monica Garcia]

Hello SSHA Graduate Students,

Happy New Year!

If you have not enrolled in 12 units for spring 2023 semester, please do so as soon as possible. All full-time graduate students must be enrolled in 12 units.

To request independent study courses, submit the electronic independent study request form<https://registrar.ucmerced.edu/forms> on the Office of the Registrar's website. Once the instructor of record approves the request, register using the CRN sent to you via email from the Office of the Registrar. You will not be automatically enrolled, you need to register for the course via your student portal.

All graduate students should read and be familiar with their graduate program's Policies and Procedures<https://ssha-grad.ucmerced.edu/graduate-programs> and Graduate Division's Policies and Procedures.
