Continuous Enrollment/On-Leave Procedures
Continuous Enrollment
To maintain graduate status, a student must be enrolled on a full-time, part-time, or official on-leave basis from the time of first enrollment in the Graduate School until completion of all requirements for the graduate degree. Registration is required when applying for the master's degree, filing the thesis, and receiving the degree. Summer quarter on-leave enrollment is automatic for all graduate students who were either registered or officially on leave the prior spring quarter. Failure to maintain continuous enrollment constitutes evidence that the student has resigned from the Graduate School. To be eligible for on-leave status, the student must have registered for, and completed at least one quarter in the University of Washington Graduate School. The student must also have been registered or officially on leave for the immediate past quarter (except summer).
To Apply for On-Leave Status
Meet the Deadline
A student's Petition for On-Leave Status must be approved by the director of the program and submitted no later than the tenth day of the quarter. If a student fails to maintain graduate status and wishes later to resume studies, s/he must file an application for readmission to the Graduate School by the published dates.
Follow the Steps
- Obtain a Petition for On-Leave Status from the Graduate Program Adviser in the IAS Program Office located in WCG 424. Please call IAS at (253) 692-4450 to make an appointment to do this.
- Complete all sections of the form and submit it to the UWT Cashier's Office in MAT 354 with a $35 payment (cash, personal checks or money orders only) payable to: University of Washington.
- If you have registered for any portion of a quarter, remember to withdraw from classes to avoid liability for tuition and fees. Check the current Registration Guide for drop dates.
To Return From On-Leave Status
Graduate students who are on leave are eligible to register for the quarter immediately following the expiration of the on-leave period, or any quarter during the leave period, without having to file a Returning Student Reenrollment Form.
