Continuous Registration, Leave of Absence

All matriculated M.S.W. candidates must register each semester/session as appropriate for their respective program until earning their degree. If a student requires a leave of absence, application must be made in writing to the assistant dean for student affairs, who must approve the leave. Once approved for a leave of absence, the student will be registered during the established registration period for 19:910:800 Matriculation Continued (0 credits). Students pay a fee each semester while on approved leave. Matriculation Continued status is available only to students who are not present on campus and not using faculty time or university research facilities. Leaves of absence may not extend beyond two regular semesters. Students who do not formally resume studies after two semesters of approved leave must apply for readmission through the Office of Graduate and Professional Admissions.
