INTERNSHIP AND DISSERTATION STUDENTS Students in Internship or Dissertation (ABD) status must continue to register and pay the required fees each semester appropriate to their status (see Fee Schedule). Students in Dissertation status who have completed their required units in dissertation research must register for 3 additional units each semester until the dissertation is completed. INACTIVE STATUS Inactive students are those who have requested and been granted a Leave of Absence from their program. A Leave of Absence may be granted upon Petition for Change of Status if there is deemed sufficient reason for interrupt ing the program and intention to return to the program. Change of Status forms are available from the Registrar. A Leave of Absence must be renewed by Petition each semester and may not exceed two consecutive semesters. A Leave of Absence longer than one year will require withdrawal from the program and a Petition for Readmission if the student later wishes to request active status. The Committee responsible for processing Leave of Absence requests is the Admissions and Academic Qual ifications Committee. Each Leave of Absence must receive the approval of the student's advisor and the Dean. WITHDRAWAL A student who withdraws from the program must complete the Withdrawal form available from the Registrar's office. Where financial responsibilities have not been cared for as approved by the Director of Student Financial Services a hold will be placed on the student's transcript of record. UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL A student who fails to register in any given semester without arranging for a Leave of Absence or formal withdrawal is eliminated from the program by default. Readmission requires the submission of a formal Petition for Readmis sion, action by the Admissions and Academic Qualifications Committee, and final approval of the Dean. This policy is in effect for students in any status, including Internship and Dissertation.
