Continuous Registration and Progress Towards Degree

Once you are admitted to candidacy for the doctoral degree, you must register continuously each long semester (i.e., fall and spring) until the degree is awarded. If you have not graduated two years after admission to candidacy, the GSC will begin reviewing your program annually to ensure that you are progressing towards completion of your degree. If you are not making satisfactory academic and research progress at this point, your candidacy may be terminated.
