Students who are obliged to interrupt their studies may, with approval of the dean, register for matriculation continued. There is no tuition fee for this registration, although a student fee of $7 and a computer fee of $20 are 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.
