Candidates who intend to drop out of the Graduate Education program for a period longer than twelve months should send an official notification (letter or email) to the Dean of Education. Candidates who drop out of the program, either by notifying the Dean of Education, as a result of not enrolling in coursework for a period of twelve months or more, or as a result of an academic suspension, and who wish to return, must be readmitted to the program. In order to register for classes, inactive candidates must submit all currently required admissions materials. In order to be re-admitted, candidates must follow all current admissions requirements. When moved back to active status, candidates may be required to attend an advising session and sign a new curriculum contract as part of the readmission process. No courses that extend beyond the required time-period for program completion will be counted toward the degree.
