Continuous Registration

All degree and certificate candidates must maintain active status at the university until all requirements are satisfied. Typically, students do so by enrolling in classes each semester. Any returning student, or newly admitted and enrolled student after the last day to add classes, who intends to temporarily discontinue studies and not enroll for a semester, must obtain email approval for Continuous Registration from their associate dean. Continuous Registration is typically approved for one academic semester and rarely approved for longer than one academic year (two academic semesters and one summer semester).

The date a student submits their request for Continuous Registration is the official date to determine the student’s financial responsibility to the university. The last date for enrolled students to request Continuous Registration is the same date as the last day to withdraw from classes as listed in the Academic Calendar. For a returning student who has not enrolled in the current semester, the last date to request Continuous Registration is two weeks after the last day to add classes.

If a student who is not enrolled does not submit a request for Continuous Registration, the student breaks registration, will be withdrawn with an effective date of the day before classes begin, and must reapply for admission to the university. A nondegree student who does not enroll in a semester must reapply for admission to the university. Students who are approved to take courses at another institution while on Continuous Registration are subject to Marymount’s post-matriculation credit limits.
