Continuous Enrollment

The Graduate School at North Dakota State University has a continuous enrollment policy that requires a student to be enrolled each fall and spring semester up to the time the student completes all degree requirements, including submitting final copies of a thesis, paper, or dissertation. The continuous enrollment policy allows graduate programs to plan course offerings and to get credit for the activities of faculty members and for the other resources they provide students. Continuous enrollment also helps students stay on track in achieving their degree objectives and provides some incentive for students to complete in a timely manner. All students who will not complete their degree prior to the end of the summer term need to be registered for the Fall 2008 term.

Students who know that they will not be able to attend in the fall term should talk to their adviser and department chair/program director. Students may apply for a leave of absence for a period of up to 2 years. Students who do not enroll and fail to apply for a leave of absence will be required to enroll for 1 credit for each term missed during the absence and must reapply to their program if their absence exceeds 2 years.

A complete description of the continuous enrollment policy can be found at http://www.ndsu.edu/gradschool/bulletin/genpol.html.

The application for a leave of absence can be found at http://www.ndsu.edu/gradschool/forms/index.shtml
