Continuous Enrollment

The School of Graduate and Professional Studies operates on a schedule of continuous student enrollment. As such, GPS students are expected to remain enrolled in courses throughout the entire calendar year.  Any break of more than 45 days in a student’s course schedule requires a Leave of Absence (LOA) approved by the Student Financial Services department. 

Additionally, GPS students are not allowed to be out of attendance more than 180 days in any 12-month period.  Any student who is out of attendance for more than 45 days or more than 180 days in a 12-month period will be immediately withdrawn from his/her GPS program. This policy applies to all students enrolled in a Graduate and Professional Studies program, regardless of Financial Aid status.
