For information about WGRP, students should contact the Graduate College.

Seniors preparing to graduate who need fewer than full-time hours to complete their degree will remain eligible while attending part-time.

Students with accommodations approved by the Student Accessibility and Inclusive Learning Services office may be eligible to renew their WUE if they do not earn the minimum of 24 ASU credit hours for the academic year by the end of each spring semester. Learn more about this option on the Student Accessibility and Inclusive Learning Services website.
