PhD Student Registration

PhD students in Biomedical Sciences or Neuroscience and MD/PhD students must be officially registered for each term, even during the research phase of the program, in order to maintain their matriculation status. PhD students failing to officially register are no longer eligible for student status, including student compensation and support.

PhD students in Biomedical Sciences or Neuroscience and MD/PhD students may register for courses in other graduate programs at ISMMS (e.g. MD, MPH, MS in Clinical Research) with the permission of their dissertation advisor, the course director, and their Program Director. The Graduate School will support the tuition for a maximum 6 credits during the PhD program. Exceptions to this limit require the approval of both the Program Director and research mentor/advisor. Payment of tuition for additional courses will be the responsibility of the student or their dissertation advisor.
