  • Continuous Registration Policy

    Continuous registration is expected every semester as appropriate for the program, from admission through graduation, until all requirements for the degree are completed.

    To make continuous progress in a graduate program, students have the following options:

    • Register for at least 1 graduate-level credit applicable to their graduate degree, or
    • Pay the continuous registration fee to remain active in the graduate program although not registered in any courses. Students are also expected to register or pay the continuous registration fee for the summer if they use university facilities or consult with faculty during the summer.

    The continuous registration deadline is the same as the deadline for registration for thesis, research, and independent study courses, i.e., the end of the ninth week of fall and spring semesters or the end of the seventh week of the summer semester.

    Failure to undertake continuous registration may result in previously deferred (DF) grades taken for thesis research becoming permanent grades. Students not making continuous progress or not on an approved leave of absence (see Leave of Absence on this page) may be placed on academic probation (see Academic Standing on this page) or, in some cases, removed from graduate degree-seeking status.

  • Advancement to Candidacy

    • Be in good academic standing.
    • Demonstrate competence in the methods and techniques of the discipline, which may include passing a comprehensive examination.
    • Receive approval of the independent scholarship, thesis or research project proposal from the student鈥檚 graduate committee.

    • Submit an approved final official GSP.

    Students are responsible for knowing and, when appropriate, acting on the contents of all university communications sent to their official UA e-mail accounts. To receive university communication at a different e-mail address, students may forward e-mail from their assigned UA accounts to any valid third party e-mail address of their choice that accepts forwarded e-mail. More information may be found on the IT Services website.

    Once admitted to your graduate program, you are automatically subscribed to the Graduate Student Mailing List and will receive important information from the graduate school. Upon graduation, your name will automatically roll off.
