Students who must interrupt their studies may, with the approval of
their graduate director, register for matriculation continued for a
maximum of two consecutive semesters. There is no tuition fee for this
registration, although a student fee is charged. This category of
registration is available to students not present on campus and not
using faculty time and university research facilities. Those students
who are away from campus but working on their theses or dissertations
and in contact with their committees are required to register for a
minimum of 1 credit of research per semester. Master's degree students who
are on campus and engaged in research must register for a minimum of 1
credit per semester. Late registration for matriculation continued or 1
credit of research (unless necessary for degree requirements) is not
allowed beyond the second week of the semester. After this time, the
student is required to apply for readmission and, depending on degree
status, may be subject to a restoral fee.
