Non-continuous Enrollment Policy
Purpose
Students are expected to maintain continuous enrollment every term from the time they matriculate until they graduate. Those not maintaining continuous enrollment need to be removed from active status.
Scope
This policy applies to all degree and non-degree seeking students except those on an approved military leave of absence.
Policy
Students enrolled in a degree, certificate, or diploma program who fail to remain registered for courses past the drop date for three consecutive terms will be withdrawn for non-continuous enrollment.
Non-degree students who fail to remain registered for courses past the drop date for two consecutive terms will be withdrawn for non-continuous enrollment.
Effective September 4, 2024
Procedure
Definitions
Non-continuous enrollment
Students enrolled in a degree, certificate, or diploma program who fail to remain registered for courses past the drop date for three consecutive terms. Non-degree students who fail to remain registered for courses past the drop date for courses for two consecutive terms.
Readmission
The process of returning to active status via an application for admission following a withdrawal for non-continuous enrollment.
Students who plan not to maintain continuous registration for any reason should consult with an academic advisor, determine any financial aid impact, and understand any readmission implications of not registering.
Students who are withdrawn for non-continuous enrollment must contact NWHSU Admissions to apply for readmission before enrolling again and are subject to the terms of the Readmission to the University policy.
Readmission following a break in enrollment will require additional review for those not in good academic standing at the time they are withdrawn. Additionally, readmission may be contingent on the outcome of any pending conduct investigations which were paused while the student was away from the university, or on the outcome of any new conduct proceedings related to conduct that occurred while the student was withdrawn. (See the University Student Handbook).
A student who has been readmitted after being withdrawn for non-continuous enrollment will be held to the new program requirements upon returning to the University. A student returning before they are withdrawn for non-continuous enrollment will be allowed to follow the program requirements in place when they were last enrolled.
