Matriculation
Matriculation is an agreement with the University to a particular set of degree requirements. Full-time undergraduate students are automatically matriculated upon admission and fall under the degree requirements of the catalog of the year in which they first enrolled. Full-time students who are on an official leave of absence will maintain their matriculation status during the period of their leave (see policy under Interruption in Attendance).
Returning full-time students who have not attended the University for two consecutive major semesters (fall and spring or spring and fall) must apply for readmission and, if accepted, will be under the catalog in effect at the time of their readmission.
Part-time students who have not attended the University for more than 24 months are no longer considered matriculated and must apply for readmission through the Undergraduate Part-Time Admissions Office. Part-time students not yet admitted to the University must apply for matriculation after they earn 12 credits. After 12 credits of non-matriculated status, a part-time student will not be allowed to register unless they are admitted to the University through the Undergraduate Part-Time Admissions Office or appeal for one more additional semester while they complete their application.
