7. University Graduate Scholarships (UGS) This is a tuition scholarship funded by State of Ohio. The CEAS has established limits on the number of quarters MS and PhD students can receive UGS. This policy is subject to change from year to year. To use any University facilities you must be registered. If you drop/withdraw classes, and fall below 15 credit hours after the 100% refund schedule, the UGS will be withdrawn and you will be required to pay all the tuition due. If you are going to drop and add classes, be sure to add the class BEFORE you drop a class. You can not fall below 15 graduate credits at any time or go above 18 credit hours. If you are receiving UGS, you cannot take courses (not in the approved list) outside of the CEAS without permission from your academic advisor, graduate program director and the graduate office.
