Graduate Registration Continuation (GRC) - Graduate Courses

GRC 795 Cr.0

Extended Continuous Registration

After completing two enrollments in GRC 799, students who are still actively engaged in research or writing and need to maintain access to university resources must continue term-to-term enrollment by registering for GRC 795 for zero credits and paying a special course fee equal to 50% of the cost of one resident graduate credit. Enrollment in GRC 795 provides the student with continued access to university email, library privileges, and buildings. Students register for GRC 795 only when they are not registered for any other credits. Enrollment during winter intersession and summer term are not required. However, to maintain access to UWL resources during the summer, students must be registered for either the summer or the upcoming fall term. Repeatable - maximum 12 enrollments. Prerequisite: two semesters of GRC 799 or SAA 997. Offered Fall, Spring, Summer.

GRC 798 Cr.0

Interrupted Registration

This registration is required for students who failed to meet the University's Graduate Research and Terminal Project Completion Policy (did not register for GRC 799 immediately in the fall or spring term after completing all other degree requirements in an approved program of study except for thesis, comprehensive examination, seminar paper, or other culminating project). To comply with the policy, students must register for GRC 798 for zero credits and pay a special course fee equal to the cost of three resident graduate credits. Prerequisite: approval by graduate program director and reentry to former academic program; approved reentry to the university. Offered Fall, Spring, Summer.

GRC 799 Cr.0

Continuous Registration

Once having completed all degree requirements in an approved program of study except for the thesis, seminar paper, comprehensive examination, or other culminating graduate projects, students must maintain continuous spring and fall enrollment (i.e., continuous enrollment excluding winter intersession and summer term). Students meet this requirement by registering for GRC 799 for zero credits and paying a special course fee equal to the cost of one resident graduate credit. Students who require only one term after their regular coursework to complete their thesis or culminating project need to register for only for one (1) term of GRC 799. Students who need more than one (1) term after their regular coursework to complete their thesis or culminating project need to register for two and only two (2) continuous terms of GRC 799. Students must register for GRC 799 (fall, spring) immediately following the completion of all coursework. Students register for GRC 799 only when they are not registered for any other credits. To maintain access to university resources (e.g., building access) during the summer, a student must be registered for GRC 799 for either that summer or the upcoming fall term. Repeatable - maximum two enrollments. Offered Fall, Spring, Summer.
