Students who are obliged to interrupt their studies may, with the approval of their graduate director, register for matriculation continued. There is no tuition fee for this registration, although a student fee of $57 is charged. This category of registration is available only to students not present on campus and not using faculty time and university research facilities. Students who are away from campus
but working on their theses or dissertations and are in contact with their committees should register for 1 or more credits of research.
