Students whose degree requirements are not completed and who have not been granted a temporary leave must register each fall and spring semester during regular registration periods for courses, thesis or dissertation seminars, continuing enrollment, doctoral dissertation, or maintaining matriculation. Those who do not will be considered as having separated from the university. Such students may then reapply and, if readmitted, are governed by requirements and regulations in effect at the time of readmission.

Maintaining Matriculation Courses

During a semester when a graduate student is not enrolled in credit course work but is utilizing the services of the university, the student may maintain enrolled status by registering for a Maintain Matriculation course. The tuition charge for a maintain matriculation course is $150.

Graduate Continuing Enrollment Courses

Two courses may be available for use by graduate students, depending on their degree and degree progress.
