Students who must interrupt their studies may, with the approval of
their department director, register for matriculation continued for a
maximum of two consecutive semesters. There is no tuition fee for this
registration, though a student fee is charged each semester. This category of
registration is available to students not present on campus and not
using faculty time and university research facilities. Graduate and postgraduate 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 one credit of research per semester. Master's degree students who
are on campus and engaged in research must register for a minimum of one credit per semester. Late registration for matriculation continued or one
credit of research (unless necessary for degree requirements) is not permitted 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 by the university to a restoral fee.
