Maintaining Active Student Status

To have full access to University resources and to have a degree conferred, students must maintain “active status.”  When registering for fall semester, a student is “active” from the first day of the classes until December 31.  When registering for spring semester, a student is “active” from the first day of classes through August 31 (note that spring registration maintains active status through the end of August even when a student does not register for summer session).  In very rare circumstances, arrangements can be made for a zero-credit/zero-tuition registration to maintain active status (see policy on Grad999 registration).
