Students who are forced to interrupt their studies may seek permission from the graduate program director to register for matriculation continued (leave of absence). There is no tuition fee for this registration, although a student fee of $7 is charged. This category of registration is available only to students not present on campus and not using faculty time and university research facilities. All graduate students who are on campus and engaged in the completion of degree requirements must register for at least 1 credit per term. Late registration for matriculation continued is not allowed beyond the second week of the term. After this time, the student is required to apply for readmission and, depending on degree status, may have to pay a restorative fee. Students wishing to drop all courses and add matriculation continued must do so before the first day of the term.
