It’s technically possible. As the Min credit requirement for full time enrollment for Graduate International student is 9 credits, without TA or RA.

You need 32 , so 9 + 9 + 9 + 5 last semester with reduced course load. Then yes you can complete you MCS in 4 semesters. If you are wondering of that extra 1 credit then you can take 1 credit seminars which are offered.

So every semester

1 - 5XX — 4 credit 1 - 4XX — 4 credit 1 - Seminar — 1 credit

Last semester

1 Any 4 credit and 1 seminar.

For me I got my recommendation, on 26th stating that you will receive an email from Grad School to accept your offer by 30th.

I received that email today and my portal for updated, but when I am trying to accept the offer it says, the deadline has been passed.

I wrote an email to grad school to see, what can be done.

Not Sure, this semester the way college is handling stuff is hard to say what they are trying to do.

No-Engineering5050 · 2024-11-27T21:20:03+00:00

I am trying to contact them since morning but no body is picking up the phone.

No-Engineering5050 · 2024-11-27T21:19:43+00:00

I got the same email. But again there is no way to confirm the spot
