This summary has been prepared to assist students in completing the steps necessary for graduation. It should be used in conjunction with the current Graduate School Catalog and University Class Schedule, which detail in full the requirements and regulations for which all students are responsible.

Effective Fall 2002, ALL Graduate School students are required to register in the Graduate School every fall and spring term in order to maintain active status.

Maintaining active status is critical and is required in order to participate in the University community as a Graduate School student. This includes registering for coursework, taking examinations, submitting milestone forms, or filing for graduation. Students not registered every fall and spring term as described above are considered to have withdrawn; their Graduate School records are deactivated. Those who wish to resume graduate work must request readmission to the Graduate School (and if readmitted, must register) to reactivate their status.

The Graduate School does not have a Leave of Absence policy.

To file for readmission use the Readmission/Change of Status Form or contact the Graduate School Admissions Office (309 Johnston Hall; 612-625-3014) for further information.
