Permission to Re-Register

The Permission to Re-Register form is used to readmit or reinstate a student's graduate status. It will also update the student's graduate classification and major if there has been a change.

You should use the Permission to Re-Register form if you are:

• A graduate student returning to the same degree program after breaking the continuous enrollment policy.
  • A graduate student who fails to maintain continuous enrollment or obtain on- leave status is required to file a Permission to Re-Register form and a Petition to the Graduate School to petition for reinstatement. See the Continuous Enrollment Policy for reinstatement petition policy.

• A graduate student with approval to pursue concurrent master's or concurrent master's/doctoral programs.
  • The Permission to Re-Register form must be filed for the next term after receiving the first degree. This is to update the major and to permit continued enrollment.

• A doctoral student who has earned a master's degree as part of your doctoral program.
  • Students pursuing a doctoral degree who choose to earn a master's degree along the way must file the Permission to Re-Register form for the next term to continue in good standing in the doctoral program. This informs the Graduate School that the master's degree was not considered to be a terminal degree.

Note: Review of the Permission to Re-Register form may result in a change of residency status from resident to non-resident. More information is available from the residency officer in the Office of Admissions.
