The respective College Graduate Office and the Graduate School may approve postponement of students’ admission into a program for a maximum period of two semesters; the period will not be counted within the time limit for obtaining the degree.
Students must submit an official E-Form with supporting documentation before the academic year begins, after which the Graduate School will review the request, and the Graduate School Director will issue final approval. Once approved, Banner will assign the appropriate postponement status to prevent registration, enable accurate tracking, and later allow reactivation when the student confirms their return by the required deadline. Students must also fulfill the admission requirements applicable to the academic year in which they return if any changes have occurred. Failure to reactivate will result in cancellation of admission with no refund of seat reservation fees.
