Graduate Financial Aid
Placement in one or another of the postbaccalaureate
admission categories has an
effect on student eligibility for financial aid.
Contact the Financial Aid office, 707-826-
4321, for clarification of eligibility.
Continuous Enrollment
Students admitted to master’s degree programs
are required to enroll for a minimum
of one unit per term for at least two terms
per academic year until their degree requirements
are completed. Master’s degree
students who do not maintain continuous
enrollment (two terms each academic year),
and who have not been granted a leave of
absence are required to reapply for admission
to the university and to the graduate
program. Thus, students will be subject to
any new admission or degree requirements
that have been approved since their first admission
to the program. The seven-year time
limit will continue to apply to all coursework
on the approved graduate course list.
If the department allows master’s students
to enroll in Extended Education (EE) for continuous
enrollment, they may register for
one unit of a discipline-specific x693 course
through the Office of Extended Education.
Enrollment in the discipline-specific x693
course allows a graduate student to maintain
continuous enrollment and to maintain
their status in the master’s degree program.
Extended Education enrollment allows a
graduate student to make use of the same
campus resources accorded to Extended
Education students. EE students are eligible
for library privileges, Arcata/Mad River bus
passes with current ID, email, on campus
computer use, and any Moodle, Google, etc.
activities needed for classes. Student Health
& Counseling Center and Career Center
benefits are not available.
To maintain continuous enrollment, students
will register using the EE registration
form and the completed/signed
Graduate Student Continuous Enrollment
Authorization for Extended Education form.
2011-2012 Humboldt State University Catalog
The form is a permission form/authorization
from the student’s major professor/
committee chair and program graduate
coordinator allowing the student to enroll
through EE for continuous enrollment.
If the department allows, students who have
completed all coursework required for their
degree, advanced to candidacy, and filed for
graduation, may enroll through the Office of
Extended Education for continuous enrollment.
In these cases, students must register
for at least one unit of a discipline-specific
x693 course through Extended Education.
Enrollment in the discipline-specific x693
course allows graduate students to maintain
continuous enrollment and to maintain their
status in the master’s degree program.
This policy does not apply to credential candidates
and post-baccalaureate unclassified
students.
Academic Probation &
Disqualification
Graduate students who are classified or conditionally
classified will be placed on academic
probation if their Humboldt grade-point
average falls below a 3.0 (B grade average).
While on academic proba tion, if a graduate
student’s cumulative GPA at Humboldt is
below 3.0 for a second consecutive term,
the student will be academically disqualified.
Graduate students may be placed on probation
and/or disqualified for failure to make
adequate progress in the program, as
defined by the requirements and policies of
individual programs, by recommendation of
the program faculty and graduate coordinator,
and action of the graduate dean.
Unclassified post-baccalaureate students
are governed by the academic probation
and disqualification regulations for senior
undergraduate students.
Readmission. Disqualified graduate students
may not register without formal
readmission to the university. They will be
considered for readmission through the normal
application process. After readmission,
students must maintain the GPA described
for reinstatement below.
Reinstatement. If there are extenuating
circumstances, such as extended medical
complications, disqualified students may
apply for reinstatement. Their application for
reinstatement will be reviewed by the faculty
of the program, the graduate coordinator,
and the graduate dean.
Reinstated students must improve the GPA
to acceptable levels to return to good stand-
ing. If the first term after reinstatement
(and subsequent) GPA is 3.0 or better, but
the overall cumulative GPA is still below 3.0,
the student retains a status of “reinstated.”
If the GPA for the first term after reinstatement
is below 3.0, the student is disqualified.
Good standing is achieved when the term
and cumulative GPA are both improved to
3.0 or better. Students must achieve “good
standing” to be eligible to graduate.
