Important General Information for
Graduating Students & Their Advisors
*REGULATIONS*
- Continuous registration is required. All students must be registered each fall and spring semester for a minimum of 1 credit that will accurately reflect the student’s involvement in graduate study and use of University resources. Students may request a "Leave of Absence" (check criteria). Master’s and pre-candidacy doctoral students may request a waiver of the registration requirement (one time only, up to one year) by filing the “Petition for Waiver of Continuous Registration” form. Leave of absences and waivers must have Department and College approval. Students who have approved waivers may not use any facility or resource of the University. Forms may be found on the web at http://www.gradschool.umd.edu/gss/forms/.
- Pre-candidacy doctoral students may register for 898 “Pre-Candidacy Research” for 1-8 credits (carries 18 units).
- Doctoral students are not permitted to register for 899 dissertation credit until they are advanced to candidacy.
- Doctoral candidates, advanced to candidacy, are automatically registered for 6 credits of 899 dissertation credit by the University each fall and spring semester. The credit level is not variable, and can not be adjusted.
- Students must be registered for a minimum of one credit in the intended semester of graduation, including one of the summer sessions for August graduation.
- Doctoral candidates who have accumulated the required number of 899 dissertation credits prior to August graduation, may register for a minimum of one 898 pre-candidacy credit in the summer, or any other credit approved by the student’s adviser, in order to meet the registration requirement. 899 credit is offered for a variable number of credits in the summer.
- It is necessary to apply for graduation early in the semester of graduation. If graduation requirements are not met in the semester of initial application, the Application for Graduation continues to carry over until graduation requirements are met. However, any student whose time expires before graduation requirements are met, will not have their Application for Graduation rolled over. These students will need to request a time extension and reapply to graduate. There will be no fee charged for the Application for Graduation.
- Students are responsible for meeting deadlines when fulfilling final degree requirements.
- Students should check the graduate program that they are enrolled in for applicable deadlines it may have.
- For additional information, call the Graduate Studies Office, College of Education, 301-405-2344 or 301-405-2364.

ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY FOR DOCTORAL STUDENTS, SUMMER 2009:
Applications for Admission to Candidacy may be obtained in the Graduate Studies Office, Room 1204, or on the web at http://www.education.umd.edu/studentinfo/graduate_info/FormsExplanGrad.html.
The Admission to Candidacy forms must be approved by the Department prior to submission for College approval (Graduate Studies, Room 1204). The Graduate Studies Office recommends to Graduate School the consideration of candidacy. The candidacy papers are reviewed on the 25th day of each month. The Graduate School will notify in writing the candidacy decision to each student effective the 1st of the month.
*REGULATIONS*
- Continuous registration is required. All students must be registered each fall and spring semester for a minimum of 1 credit that will accurately reflect the student’s involvement in graduate study and use of University resources. Students may request a leave of absence (check criteria). Master’s and pre-candidacy doctoral students may request a waiver of the registration requirement by filing the “Petition for Waiver of Continuous Registration” form. Leave of absences and waivers must have Department and College approval. Students who have approved waivers may not use any facility or resource of the University. Students must be making satisfactory progress in order to be granted a waiver. Forms may be found on the web at http://www.gradschool.umd.edu/gss/forms/.
- Doctoral student registration for 899 dissertation credit is not permitted until the doctoral student has advanced to candidacy.
- Pre-candidacy doctoral students may register for 898 “Pre-Candidacy Research” for 1-8 credits (carries 18 units).
- Doctoral candidates, advanced to candidacy, are automatically registered for 6 credits of 899 dissertation credit by the University each fall and spring semester. The credit level is not variable, and can not be adjusted.
- Students must be registered for a minimum of one credit in the intended semester of graduation, including one of the summer sessions for August graduation.
- Doctoral candidates, who have accumulated the required number of 899 dissertation credits prior to August graduation, may request registration for a minimum of one credit of 899 dissertation credit (available for variable credit in summer only), or may register for 898 pre-candidacy credit, or any other credit approved by the student’s advisor, in order to meet the registration requirement.
- It is necessary to apply for graduation early in the semester of graduation. If graduation requirements are not met in the semester of initial application, the Application for Graduation continues to carry over until graduation requirements are met. However, any student whose time expires before graduation requirements are met will not have their Application for Graduation rolled over. These students will need to request a time extension and reapply to graduate. There will be no fee charged for the Application for Graduation.
- Students are responsible for meeting deadlines when fulfilling final degree requirements.
- Students should check the graduate program that they are enrolled in for applicable deadlines it may have.
- For additional information, call the Graduate Studies Office, College of Education, 301-405-2344 or 301-405-2364.
