Re-Enrollment Checklist

Re-Enrollment Deadlines
>Fall: August 15
>Spring: January 15

Graduate degree candidates must maintain continuous registration, either by enrolling for course, capstone, thesis, or dissertation credits or by enrolling in the program fee course (CAS 600). Students who did not maintain continuous enrollment and want to re-enroll should submit a graduate re-enrollment application to their graduate program director. The application is then reviewed by the Office of Graduate Studies and submitted to the Registrar’s Office for processing if approved.

Once readmitted, students will need to pay a program fee for each inactive semester, to a maximum of six semesters. 

Re-enrolled students must meet the program requirements that pertain at the time of their re-enrollment. Courses older than seven years at the time of re-enrollment cannot be used toward the degree, except with prior written permission of the graduate program director at the time of re-enrollment.

The graduate re-enrollment application can be found on our Graduate Forms page.
