Syracuse Subcontract from Indiana University *****MESSAGE FROM
CARLOS*****

Geoffrey,

Since we have many students with the last name of Wang, we just need to
certify that your student named Wang is indeed Minjun Wang.  Please
confirm this.

Answering your question about credit hours:

First, we are calculating how many credits each student needs to finish
their Ph.D.

Second, for immigration purposes, students need to take a minimum of 9
credit hours in the spring semester and 9 credit hours in the fall
semester.  However,  in the semester in which the students are finishing
up the required minimum number of credits (minimum of 90 credits for
CIS, minimum of 78 credits for CE), they can take less than 9 credits
and  be certified as full time.  Therefore, as a consequence of this,
when students finish all the course requirements for a Ph.D. degree,
they register for '0' credits until they defend their dissertation but
are considered full time for the purpose of immigration.

We still need to know the exact period for which you want to support
these students (January 1, 2002 through August 15, 2002?).

Carlos
