There is no tuition for this registration, although a student fee is charged. Students who do not register for Matriculation Continued will be charged a reactivation fee upon their approved return to the program. (Note that international students on temporary visas who interrupt their studies must in most cases leave the United States during such periods.) Matriculation Continued is available only to students not enrolled in any coursework and not using faculty time or university facilities except to complete previous coursework from classes with incomplete or temporary grades. M.L.I.S. students may enroll in Matriculation Continued for a maximum of two consecutive semesters. Students are still expected to complete the M.L.I.S. program within three years; a request to extend the time for the degree would have to be done separately. All M.L.I.S. students who are engaged in the completion of degree requirements are expected to register for at least 6 credits per semester or 12 credits per year, including summer, in order to meet the three-year limit for the degree.
