Continuing Enrollment - 601


Continuing Enrollment Requirement

All students in a graduate program but not enrolled in classes by the Monday of the second week of the fall or the spring semester will automatically be registered in and charged tuition for 1 hour of 601. This hour will be dropped if the student subsequently enrolls in a class that semester or is granted a leave of absence by his/her graduate program by the 8th week of the semester. Each program has its own policy of whether and when to grant leaves of absence. Students on leave are not required to enroll in 601 for the period of leave but a leave of absence does not affect the time-to-degree requirements. The requirement of the 601 enrollment ends when a student passes the six years to complete a master's, the five years of doctoral candidacy, or officially withdraws from a program or graduates. Students who are granted extensions to these time limits would be covered by this revised 601 policy. Summer sessions are exempt from the continuous enrollment requirement.

Continuing Enrollment--601
Registration in 601 (1 hour per semester) is required of all graduate students, whether in residence or not, who are not otherwise enrolled for fall or spring semester. Concurrent registration in any other course is not permitted.

Students registering for 601 are assessed only in-state tuition for the credit hour associated with the registration. Since none of the other student fees are assessed for 601, the student is not eligible for the benefits of any other programs such as Recreation Center use, Health Service and Student Medical Benefits, Students' Attorney Program assistance, etc. Students needing the above benefits that require fees may instead register for additional research, thesis, or dissertation hours.

NOTE: CHANGE IN AUTOMATIC 601 ENROLLMENT POLICY

Students who have not paid their bills may not be allowed to enroll and this may affect their graduate standing.
