Policy

In all circumstances, students must be enrolled for at least one graduate credit during the semester or summer session they wish to earn a graduate degree. In addition, some graduate programs have a continuous enrollment policy (Counseling, Doctorate in Educational Leadership, School Psychology, and Speech-Language Pathology). Students should view the program description pages in the bulletin for specific program requirements.

Students may fulfill this requirement in one of four ways:

1. Concurrent enrollment in course work.
2. Enrollment for Thesis (699) or Dissertation (799).
3. Enrollment for Project/Action Research/Portfolio (692, 695, 696, 795 or 796).
4. Enrollment for one credit in Continuing Registration (698 or 798).
