Students pursuing a graduate degree or certificate program are required to be enrolled from the time of matriculation through degree/certificate completion. Continuous enrollment is defined as completing a minimum of one (1) hour of graduate credit (including 699/799/801/802/803) every fall and spring semester, or one semester during the academic year in combination with a summer session. This course work must be approved for the student’s program of study and selected in consultation with the departmental Graduate Program Director and/or advisor or committee chair. State funds may not be applied to support tuition for any course that is not documented on the student’s Plan of Study.

All graduate students must be enrolled for at least 1 credit during the semester in which they are scheduled to receive their degrees/certificates. This may include extension courses (801/802/803).

Any student who breaks continuous enrollment must apply for re-admission to the university.  If re-admitted, the student will be assigned to the catalog requirements for the program in effect for the re-admit term.
