  Graduate School-New Brunswick 2008-2010 Academic Policies and Procedures Registration and Course Information  

Registration and Course Information

A prepared registration form for each newly admitted student is made available to the student before the start of the fall and spring semesters. Advising arrangements vary according to the needs of particular graduate offices, but the official registration and billing forms should be received by the student well before the first day of class. It is the responsibility of the student to remain in communication with the Office of the Graduate Director. The forms must be submitted by the student to the Office of the Graduate Registrar and must be received at that location by the announced deadlines, unless alternate arrangements are made by the graduate program office. Overdue forms may require subsequent correspondence, entail additional fees, and necessitate reregistration. Forms may be returned by mail. Additions or changes of courses are routinely permitted during the first week of classes.

Registration in subsequent semesters is made through a web-based registration system. Once enrolled, students register early for subsequent semesters. Registration instructions are distributed at that time. Changes of registration may be made at indicated times after early registration. In all other respects, the provisions of the above paragraph hold.

A student admitted into a degree program of the Graduate School-New Brunswick is expected to remain registered in every fall and spring semester thereafter until he or she completes the program and earns the degree. Normally a student registers for courses or research; as appropriate, a student may also register for matriculation continued for a maximum of two semesters. Students continuing research on a master's thesis should register for 1 credit of research per semester until the degree is completed, for a maximum of three semesters. Any student who fails to maintain continuous registration may not resume formal graduate study or register again in the Graduate School-New Brunswick without first applying through the Office of the Graduate School for readmission. 

Students who have been admitted to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree must apply for restoration of active status and pay a restoral fee. There is no time limit for the readmission of such students.
