Continuous Registration Policy

Under this policy, all graduate students must register for courses and pay associated tuition/fees each semester (not including summer and winter sessions) until the degree is awarded.

The graduate school will grant a waiver to this policy in limited cases, with the recommendation of the academic department. To apply for a waiver, complete the attached form for your request for a waiver and submit it along with a statement explaining the reasons to your academic advisor 30 days prior to the start of the term for which the waiver is sought. Students who fail to maintain continuous registration of who are approved for a waiver are subject to dismissal by the Graduate School.
