大家帮我看看这个50%offer包含tuition exemption吗？

xiaowoodUID: 179917

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is pleased to offer you a 50% Research Assistantship. This assistantship award will carry an academic year stipend in the amount of 11500$. Your appointment will be for a 9 month period beginning 08/21/2006 and ending 05/18/2007.
......
All graduate assistants must enroll and remain full-time students during the semesters they are covered by an assistantship. Full-time enrollment in Graduate School is 9 hours in the Fall and Spring semeters.
......
Graduate assistants are treated as state residents for fee purposes only. Accordingly, you will not be assessed university non-resident tuition. Full time (50%/20 hours per week) will receive a full tuition exemption. You are responsible for paying all required University fees.

我有两个问题：
1. Full time 可以tuition waive, 那50% Research Assistantship算不算full time呢？ 它那括号里的类容好像就是说50% Research Assistantship就是full time.
2. Full-time enrollment in Graduate School is 9 hours in the Fall and Spring semeters. 是什么意思啊？是一天9小时，一周9小时，还是一学期9小时呢？

请教了！Bow all！
