If a student is not enrolled in an academic program for three consecutive terms (e.g., fall, spring, and summer), they will be administratively withdrawn from their program. For students enrolled in multiple academic programs, the university reserves the right to administratively withdraw a student from a specific program at that program’s discretion if the student remains inactive in that program for three consecutive terms. In such cases, a student may remain active in the University provided they are enrolled in their other program(s). See the Academic Calendars for complete term and session information. 

An administrative withdrawal does not change a student’s posted grades or account balance; neither does it generate a refund of any kind. Reapplication and department reacceptance are required to enroll again. Students who are reaccepted will be held to the current catalog requirements, which may entail additional degree requirements. The initial enrollment in the degree program will determine the beginning of the time limit for completing the degree, where the length of the time limit is determined by the current catalog.

 In rare instances, extensions may be requested by petition. Granting of such a petition may entail additional degree requirements and/or repeating courses that have expired.
