†Research credits may also be used as continuous enrollment credits for those who leave before completing their degrees.

As always, programs can have special, more-stringent requirements, so check with the Director of your Graduate Program before completing your M4 degree schedule. Programs may require more credits, may limit your out-of-department credits, may require specific courses, and so on.
