Students who are forced to
interrupt their studies may seek permission from the graduate program director or adviser
to register for Matriculation Continued (leave of absence). There is no tuition
fee for this registration, although a student fee 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 semester. Late registration for Matriculation Continued is not allowed beyond the second week of the semester. After this
time, the student is required to apply for reinstatement and, depending on
degree status, and if approved, will have to pay a reinstatement fee based on
the number of semesters missed (see Continuous Registration). Students
wishing to drop all courses and add Matriculation Continued must do so before
the first day of the semester.
Registration for Matriculation Continued is limited to two semesters. After two semesters the student is
required to register for at least 1 graduate credit of coursework, which
demonstrates progress toward the completion of their degree. Semesters of Matriculation Continued
registration and/or once graduate credit counts in the time limit allowed for
degree completion.
