Rule 3341-3-81 | Graduate admissions-graduate-reactivation.
(A) Policy statement and purpose
This policy describes the process for reactivating a graduate student's status following a period of inactivity.
(B) Policy
If a student has had no registration activity for four or more semesters (including summer), the student will be deactivated and be unable to register for classes without prior approval.
To apply for reactivation, a student must submit a graduate program reactivation form. Reactivation is subject to the approval of both the graduate coordinator and the graduate dean or designee.
(1) A student may only be reactivated into their original program of admission.
(2) A student cannot be reactivated into a progam that is no longer active.
(3) A student is reactivated under the current requirement term (i.e., the program requirements listed in the current graduate catalog).
(4) Exceptions may be considered at the discretion of the graduate coordinator and the graduate college dean or designee.
Students seeking to return to BGSU to pursue a different certificate or degree program must complete the regular admission process.
A degree program may request additional documents prior to approving reactivation.
