Graduate student continuous enrollment

Graduate students must maintain continuous enrollment until graduation by completing at least one program fulfillment course in two separate quarters during each 12-month period of enrollment until completion of all degree requirements or until the student officially withdraws by written notification to the registrar's office. Students who attempt but do not complete all requirements of the thesis course(s) receive a grade of incomplete and are automatically enrolled in THES 799 Thesis Completion. THES 799 Thesis Completion provides one additional quarter of support and resources for students to complete their thesis requirements at no additional charge. As part of THES 799 Thesis Completion, students must meet with their graduate success adviser during the first week of classes to establish a Thesis Completion Plan, specifying how students will successfully complete all remaining thesis requirements by the end of the quarter. At the end of one quarter of THES 799 Thesis Completion, if students still fail to complete their thesis requirements, their grade of incomplete for the thesis course will automatically change to an F unless they follow the university’s temporary grade of incomplete policy and request an extension of their incomplete status for an additional five weeks. Information regarding the university’s temporary grade of incomplete policy may be found at scad.edu/temporary-grade-incomplete.
