Continuing Registration Fee (CREG)
Students only register for their capstone one time. During fall and spring semesters in which no courses work is taken, matriculated graduate students involved in completing Theses (Plan A), Comprehensive Examinations (Plan B), or Special Projects (Plan C or E) must register for a zero-credit course, CREG 001. Registration for the course requires a fee of $40.00 plus the standard Registration Fee.
If the student receives a grade of incomplete (INC) in the capstone, the student must register for CREG 001 each fall and spring semester until the capstone is completed and a grade change has been submitted to the Registrar's office. Enrollment in CREG 001 allows the student continued access to campus resources, such as computer labs, library, parking, and the faculty when not registered for other courses.
Students are responsible for this course registration during the regular registration period for the semester.
A matriculated graduate student completing a capstone but taking no other course work who does not register for CREG 001 will be withdrawn and lose his/her matriculation status. Matriculated graduate students withdrawn for this reason will have to apply for re-enrollment through Graduate Admissions and pay a Re-enrollment Fee of $50 to regain their matriculation. They will also need to register for CREG 001 for the semester of re-enrollment. The length of time to obtain a graduate degree will remain at six years from the first course taken that applied to the planned program of study.
