How to know if a student was discontinued
- Grad studies will notify units each term with a list of discontinued students (approx week 8)
- To confirm an individual student's program status visit goSFU > Student Program/Plan
- Units can monitor enrollment and prevent students being discontinued by running the Grad Study Detail Report prior to week 6 (students will a blank status have not yet enrolled).
How to resolve a discontinuation (after 6th week of term)
If a student was discontinued, they can apply for reactivation or readmission, depending on the reason for the discontinuation and whether they have reached the program's time limit.
Important Considerations:
- Time limits: Ensure the student is within the program's time limit, as this is a key factor in determining eligibility for reactivation or readmission.
- International students: International students taking a leave of absence should check with the office of International Services for Students to confirm that they will not invalidate their study permit.
- Funding and other considerations: the student may need to consult with the other units to discuss potential implications of leave, readmission or reactivation on any awards/scholarships held, residence eligibility etc.
Timing
Students who are not enrolled or on an approved leave by the end of the 6th week of the term are discontinued shortly after.
Late Course Adds and/or Leave of Absence
Submit the appropriate form to the Grad Studies Ticketing system to resolve these issues.
Reactivation (for students within program time limits)
If they were discontinued due to failing to enroll or other similar reason, and haven't reached the program's time limit, they can apply for reactivation in the same term.
Applications for reactivation are submitted to the relevant graduate program committee for consideration and approval by the graduate program chair.
Readmission (for students outside time limits or those involuntarily withdrawn):
If the student involuntarily withdrew they need to apply for readmission through the regular admission process. Reasons for involuntarily withdrawal includes:
- they were required to withdraw
- they were placed on an extended withdrawal
- they have reached the program's time limit
