If students need to take a semester off of classes, they must reactivate their student status to enroll in courses. To reactivate their status students must submit an application for re-enrollment using the re-enrollment application under the “Your Records” tab. Once students are approved for reactivation, they will be notified via email. If a student takes two consecutive years off from a program, they must re-apply for admission to the Graduate School. After a five-year absence continuing graduate status students must reapply. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú or degrees within a graduate program that have been eliminated for 10+ years may not be conferred or pursued.

Students have five years from the completion of their first course/credit hours to complete the master’s degree program. This policy is set by . This time-line is for full-time and part-time degree-seeking students. The cut-off is December 31st of the 5th year, if students complete their first course in summer of 2023 they have until December 31st of 2028 to complete the degree. If students need to alter their program of study, they should contact their advisor for support.

Students must consult with their advisor and follow the university procedures if they wish to withdraw from a course. All students are permitted to withdraw from a course after the first twenty percent of the course. If students choose to withdraw, a W will appear on the student’s official record. After sixty percent of the course is completed, students may no longer withdraw unless the Graduate Council signs a petition. More detailed information related to the academic withdrawal policy can be found on the Graduate Student page of the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University website. Additionally, since the counselor education program follows a specific course sequence, operating on a cohort model, withdrawing from a course could delay graduation. Students are highly encouraged to proactively work with their advisor and instructor prior to withdrawing from a course.
