Graduate Catalog 2004-2005

Minimum Registration Requirement

Graduate College policy requires that all graduate students be registered for at least one semester hour during the term in which they graduate.

Immediately following a semester of enrollment, students who have completed all degree requirements prior to 5:00 p.m. on the first day of classes in the term they officially graduate, do not have to register for one hour of credit if they can satisfy all of the following conditions:

  1. Have enrolled in all required course work; and
  2. Have submitted an error-free copy of their dissertation or thesis to the Graduate College for doctoral or Plan I (thesis) master’s students, or have completed comprehensive examinations if Plan II (non-thesis) master’s students (includes completion of project, if required); and
  3. Will have removed all incompletes prior to the first day of classes in the term they graduate

NOTE: the student does not need to be registered at BGSU if they are completing revalidation or if they are attending another institution where they are taking a course listed on their TDP that will be transferred back to BGSU.
