Policy on Completion of Degree Requirements and Graduation

Graduate students who have previously registered for all credits in a graduate degree program but who have not completed all requirements (e.g., thesis, professional paper, internship, etc.) must continue to register each semester (except summer terms) until all degree requirements are completed and filed with the registrar. Students must be enrolled for at least one credit hour during the semester of graduation except summer, if registered for the prior spring semester. Students may request a leave of absence for special circumstances, but are not permitted to use university resources during the period of their leave of absence. Students may petition the Graduate School for an exception to the continuous registration requirement if all degree requirements are completed prior to the first day of class in the next term.

For information on leave of absence, view Absence and Readmission found at www.ecu.edu/cs-acad/grcat/admission.cfm#LOAReadmit
