Continuous Enrollment

Students in the PhD program in Reading must follow the University regulations regarding continuous enrollment:

"All students enrolled in doctoral programs must maintain continuous registration for each fall and spring session (except for periods of official leave of absence prior to candidacy) until they have completed all program requirements. Minimum registration consists of 3 credits of approved course work, registration for dissertation load (899 courses only), or registration for other field work courses that have been approved as full-time by the Dean of Graduate Studies or the Graduate Academic Council.

Summer sessions registration cannot be accepted in lieu of registration for fall and spring sessions. A student who neither registers for each fall and spring session nor has received an official leave of absence is subject to termination unless good cause not to do so is shown by the student after notification of such pending action." (excerpt from Graduate Bulletin)

Note that students with assistantships must enroll for a minimum of 9 credits per semester (Fall and Spring only). International students who are full-time must enroll for 12 credits per semester. An international student with an assistantship enrolls for 9 credits minimum (as opposed to 12 credits).
