GCAC-514 Continuity of Registration and Resume Study

Purpose: to define continuity of registration, and the process for readmission to The Graduate School when continuity of registration is not maintained.

Academic Goal: to ensure students continue to make progress towards their degree.

Scope: all graduate students.

Policy Statement

A student who is a degree candidate at any of the five graduate campuses of the University and who registers there without interruption for each fall and spring semester is considered to have maintained a normal continuity of registration.
1. A student who has been admitted as a “summers only” D.Ed. candidate (see GCAC-700-J Doctor of Education Degree Requirements) can maintain continuity by registering each summer for a six-week summer session.
Anyone who has interrupted the normal sequence and now plans to return and register for course work should submit an application as a Returning Graduate Student.

Process

Applying for readmission for any specific semester or session is required as follows:
1. Summer Session--Resume Study/Change of Degree or Major application required unless the student was registered for the preceding spring semester or the preceding summer session (if “summers only” student).
2. Fall Semester--Resume Study/Change of Degree or Major application required unless the student was registered for the preceding summer session or the preceding spring semester.
3. Spring Semester--Resume Study/Change of Degree or Major application required unless the student was registered for the preceding fall semester.
